Montecito homeowner with excellent credit? Consider these excellent credit cards!

With the holiday shopping season upon us, let’s take a look at credit cards. If you’re a Montecito homeowner with excellent credit, banks are vying for your business with some extraordinary deals.  I’ve researched some of the best credit card deals offered today. Here are the top 4:
1) Blue Cash Preferred® Card from American Express: Earn 6% cash back at supermarkets (up to $6K in purchases), 3% on gas and at department stores and 1% on everything else. Holiday shoppers will appreciate the 3% cash back at department stores, and those hosting the holidays can consider the 6% cash back at supermarkets as payment for their hard work! After you spend $1,000.00 in the first three months, you’ll get a $100 bonus as well as a complimentary year of Amazon Prime. But that’s not all. Cardholders enjoy a 0% 15-month intro APR on purchases and balance transfers. There is a $75 annual fee.
2) Citi Simplicity® Card:  If your holiday gift list includes large purchases, you’ll want to check out this card. It offers a lengthy 18-month 0% introductory APR for purchases and balance transfers, without late fees or annual fee.
3) Barclay Arrival Plus™ World Elite Mastercard®:  Going out of town during the holidays? Love to travel all year long? Then this card is for you. Earn 2 miles per dollar for every purchase, and a bonus 40,000 miles in the first 90 days.  Book your travel anyway you want; by phone, online, using an agent, and fly any airline to any destination, with no blackout dates. Plus, by using your miles to pay for your travel, you will receive 10% back. There are no fees for international transactions and the $89 annual fee is waived for the first year.
4) Citi Double Cash Card: Give yourself the gift of 2% cash back on ALL your holiday purchases and beyond with this card. You’ll receive the first 1% on your purchase and the second 1% when you pay at least the minimum amount each month. You’ll also have 15 months of a 0% APR on both purchases and balance transfers, without having to pay an annual fee.
