My citibank card has been closed (day I got the letter) no matter the 11 years with them and no balance, but why keep something open I rarely use. Credit score will take a hit, which sucks. I’ll stick with my regular CC with USAA, awesome rewards and I can’t beat the rate! It’s funny that the rep at Citibank stated ‘we hate to lose a member with 11 years.’ Well I guess those years didn’t matter much…did it

I’ve been a customer for 26 years and am seriously thinking of cancelling.

These creeps tried to do this to me when I NEVER had to pay an annual fee and was never late with a payment. I closed the acct. Citibank can kiss my tuchis!

I, too, dropped it like it’s hot. I’ve had that card for over 15 years, and they didn’t blink an eye after I told them I didn’t use it anymore and wouldn’t pay the fee. While I only carry one card now for emergencies, I have plenty of other cards sitting in a drawer, most with better rates and NO annual fees.

I was one of their customers who opted out and could not care less what effect it has on my credit report, I do not want to be robbed by a greedy bank who cannot run it’s business properly.

I will NOT pay any credit card company an annual fee. I really doubt that I would return to a company that even tried an annual fee and then relented.
