OK, I sacrificed myself and called India.

She told me to apply online and get it, then they can combine the credit limits of two cards to the new card.

Doesn't look like it. The link is ahttp://www.citibank.com.au/cardsoffer/offers/gold_nofee_A.htm which clearly is Citibank

So, I phoned Citibank and asked if they have an offer through that site.

The answer (from the guy in India) was they were unaware of it

That's Citibank for ya!

I called, and a lady answered. I asked her about the offer, and her answer was "Yes".

I have now heard from Citibank that they think this link may be fraudulent and I should report it. Have sent an email to the address they gave me and will post as soon as I get a reply.

What is the link you believe to be a broker or fraudulent? All I have seen is *.citibank.com.au and I have no indications that there is anything strange about that address.

This is the original link posted Credit Cards: Compare citibank credit cards – Apply Online There is also another link from Credit Mart - Credit Cards, Home Loans, Car Loans & more It says it gets its information from Infochoice but there is no offer on Infochoice. I am not saying it is fraudulent and I don't want it to be, I want the fee free offer. However I was transferred from India to someone who sounded like an aussie and was told ANY special offers can be accessed through the main Citibank site. He told me not to enter any personal information and to report it as it could be fraudulent. I wasn't going to post, but I thought if there was even the smallest chance, I should pass it on.

Yes, but then you click on the links on both these web sites, and both forward you back to ahttp://www.citibank.com.au/cardsoffer/offers/gold_nofee_A.htm

I clicked on the link and followed the prompts to apply for the card (not that I am going to as I already have one) but the link had the secure padlock with the verification certificate issued by Verisign to cards.citibank.com.au which I would think gives some comfort that it is legit. Having said this, I don't know how hard it is to get a fake verification certificate.

There is nothing dodgy with the following link:

Citibank Gold Card

It uses the citibank.com.au domain name.

You can even enter:
https://www.citibank.com.au/cardsoff...ld_nofee_A.htm


Note: It is always a good idea to copy and paste URLs, rather than to click on them. Because if you click on them, the poster could have made the link destination different than the address written.

Anybody know how Citibank does the 100 point ID check?

Given that they don't have branches, were do we have to go?

Hope it is not too time consuming.
