Cool Citibank Finally come to the party

Hi all,
After twice getting rejected for the Annual Fee Free for life Gold Card. I was ready to close my exsisting Gold Card visa card that I had with them for the last 7 years. Firstly I called my accountant to see if they called him, they didn't.
I called 13 24 84 and asked why I was rejected, since they didn't even speak to my accountant , there reply was because I already had a citibank gold card visa, I said that I was that upset with their decision that I wanted to close my existing Visa card, he then put me through to custmer relations after some discussions he offered to waiver my annual fee for this year only,and make a request for me to have my application reassesed. (5 days Later)
I finally got a call from Citibank to say that my existing Gold Card will now be Annual Fee Free for life YYYYeeeeeeHHHHAAAA I am very happy

Who says Citibank isn't flexable

Re: Citibank Finally come to the party

when you said you were going to cancel your Gold car did you have any citibank points you were giving up on ?

My dad in same position, been with Citibank gold card for a few years but being charged, i think, $110 a year. Wants to cancel but if he does then he loses all the points he has accumlated.

If he threaten to cancel and hopes they waive annual fee for life its a good outcome but what if they dont blink so they cancel the card and he looses all those points ?

Well he has to convert his points like I did, to say QFF before he calls and threatens to cancel his card just in case they say ok we will, thats the risk he takes but at least he wont lose his points. and its good to have a back up CC from some one else just in case, mined you I planned all this before they rejected my application, so as soon as I found out I quickly faxed a letter to Citibank and asked them to reasses my application and told them how unhappy I was, Then made a call to Citibank the next day to cancel my card and the rest is history.

Cheers

Re: Citibank Finally come to the party

Does anyone know whether they do another credit file check (e.g. Baycorp) when you already have a Gold Visa with them and then apply for a free-for-life one?

I don't know for sure, though I'd suspect that they do.

Re: Citibank Finally come to the party

How does one get invited to apply for, or request, a free Citibank Gold card?

I have been a Citibank Gold Visa Card holder for some years now, and regularly get invited to become a Platinum card member. Todate I have never taken up the Pt Card offer, but would be happy to hear your views on this product, but would like to understand how I can get a free Gold or Pt card from them.

We have two cards off the one account and spend about A$3-4k per month on them.

Tnx in anticipation .

Note that you might find that T&C of this offer preclude existing Citibank customer from applying.

(f course no links to them appear at the first page, only towards the end where you have to indicate you have read and understand them )

Re: Citibank Finally come to the party

I probably should do the same, since I've already been with them for quite a while.
