Here are the best credit cards for 2017

The new year is an ideal time to reevaluate the credit cards you have in your wallet.

Even if you already own some top-notch cards, there are likely better options. Card issuers are offering phenomenal rewards to everyone from those with average credit (usually thought to be a credit score over 600) to those with nearly spotless credit (scores typically 750 and above). These impressive offers range from intro bonuses worth $625 to 0% intro APRs as long as 21 months.

NextAdvisor, a site that reviews credit cards from all major issuers, has surveyed the market and determined these to be the best credit cards of 2017.

Best 0% Intro APR Card: Citi Diamond Preferred Card

Why you should get it: With the longest 0% intro APR of any card reviewed, the Citi Diamond Preferred Card is the perfect choice for those looking to make large purchases that are basically interest-free loans

What to know:

• It has a 21-month 0% intro APR on purchases and balance transfers, which means you pay $0 in interest fees until almost the end of 2018.
• Although there is a 3% balance transfer fee, that's likely a lot lower than the ongoing interest you're paying on your current card.
• No annual fee.

Best Cash Back Card: Blue Cash Everyday Card from American Express

Why you should get it: The Blue Cash Everyday Card from American Express is the best option for those looking for a generous cash-back program with no annual fee, especially if you spend heavily on groceries and gas.

• Get a $100 intro bonus after spending $1,000 in the first 3 months.
• Earn 3% cash back at supermarkets (on up to $6,000 in purchases annually, then it's 1%), 2% at gas stations and select department stores, and 1% on all other purchases.
• If you apply by Jan. 11, 2017, you'll get 10% cash back on purchases from Amazon for your first 6 months (up to a maximum of $200 cash back).
• No annual fee.
• For a $95 annual fee, you can upgrade to the Blue Cash Preferred Card from American Express, which offers 6% cash back on groceries (up to $6,000 annually, then it's 1%), and 3% cash back on gas and select department stores.

Best Balance Transfer Card: Chase Slate

Why you should get it: If you're carrying balances on other high-APR cards, this is the card to transfer it to.

• It has a 15-month 0% APR on both purchases and balance transfers.
• There is no annual fee and are no balance transfer fees for the first 60 days of account opening.
• It is available to those with just good credit, typically considered to be a credit score above 670.

Why you should get it: With an intro bonus worth $625 in travel, great ongoing rewards, and the ability to transfer points to other travel rewards programs, Chase Sapphire Preferred is our top travel card recommendation.

• Get 50,000 bonus points after spending $4,000 in the first 3 months - equal to $500 in cash or $625 in travel.

Best Card for Average Credit: Discover it - Cashback Match

Why you should get it: Discover it - Cashback Match offers significant cash back rewards to customers whose credit score is merely in the average range (usually thought to be above 600).
