What to do? Refer to the Citibank call center agent all your enemies.. Either way you get even, ha ha…. Me I keep track of start date of my credit catds and prepare to cancel before they even charge the annual fee for the second year. With Citibank, I’ve always gotten away with not paying annual fee, except they have to charge first, then refund it.. Ha ha, they can’t make money out of me….

Enough with all these credit card companies.. Yes I take whatever I can get, but only for 1 year. This year I have AIG, HSBC, and believe it or not, American Express Peso Platinum!!!! Whoever will waive their annual fee next year will I retain..

Hi MM,

Is it okay if I cut and paste the 3 “shittybank” posts you wrote and email them to my friends for their info? It’s a good way to inform them about credit card situations.

I ended my 10 year relationship with Citibank when I closed out my Shell-Citibank Mastercard. They even gave me a credit limit of 150K before I cancelled it. I used to have 4 credit cards.

Now I kept my AIG Visa card and always turned down their offer to increase my limit. I kept them so that my Philam Pension Plan can be direct billed to my card. And I get medical and dental ‘freebies’. I used my free medical examination coupon last August. Turned out my cholesterol level is still high but my sugar and uric are normal.

Thanks in advance.

audey, actually, this issue was settled, the bank refunded an incredible amount of money but refused to admit any fault and I have just not written the final conclusion up. However, credit card laws in the Philippines are definitely not consumer friendly… many thanks for the offer of help, however… and enjoy the rest of the archives that have almost 1,200 posts by now…
