Typical cost$1,800before anything else
Across the 0% window$100.00/mo18 months, no interest
How we got that:
$1,800 spread evenly across the
18-month introductory window on the Citi Simplicity® Credit Card.
Checked · at the bank Carry a balance past the window and the standard APR applies to what is left.
Savannah is best when the humidity breaks. Aim for late fall or winter to wander the historic squares in a light jacket and skip the high spring prices.
A trip usually runs around $1800. You can use the Citi Simplicity® Credit Card, which offers 0% for 18 months on purchases and balance transfers from date of account opening, to smooth that cost out.
The 18-month window is a deadline, not a gift. If you still have a balance once those 18 months are up, the bank will start charging interest on whatever you owe.
The steps
01
Pick your dates
Aim for November or January. You will avoid the crowds and find better rates on historic inns.
02
Budget the total
Plan for $1800 to cover your flights, boutique hotel, and plenty of shrimp and grits. Keep your total spend under that amount to stay on track.
03
Use the card offer
Put your trip expenses on the Citi Simplicity® Credit Card. You get 0% for 18 months on purchases and balance transfers from date of account opening, which lets you pay $100.00 per month to cover the $1800 balance.
04
Book your table
Southern food is popular. Book your dinner reservations a few weeks early to ensure you get into the spots you want.
05
Set an auto-pay
Link your bank account to the card. Set up an automatic payment for $100.00 each month so the balance clears before the time is up.
06
Check the card terms before you commit
Every figure we publish for the Citi Simplicity® Credit Card carries the date a person verified it against Citi and a link to where they checked. Intro windows and APRs change without notice, so confirm the current terms before applying.
