Dan’s favorite credit card
Dan could share his best financial advice or his favorite mortgage tip, but his favorite credit card is what most excites him.
Dan is the ultimate stan for the Citi Double Cash® Card. His 8-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter keep him on the run, so having a card he doesn’t have to think about is important. Seriously, 2% cash back? Absolutely!
