Citizens Bank Cash Back Plus® World Mastercard® Review
The Citizens Bank Cash Back Plus® World Mastercard® stands out among the competition by letting you earn 1.8% cash back on every purchase. While it’s not quite 2%, it’s more than 1.5% – a common figure among other mid-tier cash back cards – therefore you’re getting more value back out of every cent you spend. Without rotating categories or earning limits, the card gives you ample flexibility to get as much money in return as you can.
Redeeming rewards is not quite as unrestricted, however. You can cash out your earnings as either a direct deposit into a Citizens Bank account or as a credit card statement credit. Unfortunately, options like gift card, merchandise, or travel booking are not available with this card.
What is available is a generous introductory 0% APR period on balance transfers. If you’ve been planning to consolidate other outstanding debt and save on interest charges, the Citizens Bank Cash Back Plus® World Mastercard® offers no interest for 15 months from the date you open your account.
Another appealing characteristic about this card is the fact that there is no annual fee, no foreign transaction fees, and no penalty APR if you’re late on a payment (you will still be charged a late payment fee if you miss your due date, however).
