Best credit cards for buying home improvement/rehab material

Hey guys.  Been trying to figure out the best way to pay for the construction materials, and best thing I could come up with is the Citi Double Cash for 2% cashback.  The Home Depot and Lowe's cards I don't think are worth it, I can get 10% coupons myself and they're offering 5% off, so no point.  I was thinking something home rehab-centric for 5% cash back..Just planning right now, don't want to go in without a plan and then lose on my cashback opportunities at the end.  Please share your experiences with this if you don't mind.

I'd find a card that is likely to get you a high credit limit, and allow for balance transfers at 0% APR for some period of time. Decline the balance transfers until they grant you the card, then move them over.
