hi

for those who already had a citibank visa gold card before this offer, have you been successful in switching to this no fee ever deal ?

I have a citi bank visa gold card and want to switch over to the no fee deal.

I suppose you first have to apply online and then after being approved you switch over, so what happens to all the current points I got on my visa gold card now, do they roll over with this deal ?

Thanks

I just applied so I'll let you all know how I go.

I already have a savings account with Citibank so I think I should be able to skip the 100pt check.

Keeping this card purely for emergecy use only/international travel.

The high limit is a bit off putting though. I don't like to have more than $5k free.

Thanks for the heads up on this tho!

Hello,

I got my card today and the letter says 0$ will be debited to you account as fees, but to double confirm I called up Citibank and the guy said that there was no promotional code as such on my account and assured me that there will definately me fees charged to me if I activate the card.

Anybody else found this on their account

Another interesting thing that I noticed about my card was that the card is only valid for 1 year, otherwise Citibank transaction cards and ready credit cards are valid upto 2049 why the CC only for a year. Is it something to do with charging fees latter on or is it normal on citibank CC

Credit Cards are generally only valid at most a few years. I am not sure exactly how they determine the validity length but I have had them vary between one and three years.

Received my card and 100pt identity check letter today.

Called up to activate the card (and had to listen to the robot run through the entire CreditShield advertising spin...) then went to the PO to complete the check. I assume I can use the card now.

Cheers,

Citibank only gives 1 year at the beginning. Your next card would be 3 years if your payment is ontime in the first year

Well in my case, and I have never had any form of Citibank card before Debit, Credit or anything else...before, my card is valid to 09/09


So that is 3 years in my beginning.

Cheers.

Same here - never been a Citi customer before, but my card expires on 09/09.

I applied for a Gold Visa and got a rejection:

"Unfortuately, we are unable to establish another account for you this time.....With the Citibank account/s that you currently hold, you have reach the maximum limit we can provide you with at this time"

I faxed Citbank and advise that I want to close the Silver Visa account and am awaiting their response. Has anyone had the same problem?
