Our take

The card proves its name, it is simple and fair. The Citi Simplicity® card has no annual fee, no hidden costs like fees and penalties for late payments, and what’s even more pleasant, it waives interest for the whole 21-month long introductory period not just defers it. This is a brilliant combination of features if you are eager to pay down your debt without any pitfalls.
