Warning: Do not apply for a credit card at CITIBANK!

[Mguy]

So far so good with Citibank. I have Citibank Gold, Shell and Cash back. Billings are on time sa email ko. I didn't like BDO because they charge monthly membership fee. Yun annual fee ng Citibank, i always have them waived. BPI is good rin. No hassle in paying since i can pay it online, just like Citibank thru BPI. HSBC sucks in sending the bill on time plus they refuse to waive annual fees.

ShopMore na card ito. It is my first CC, supplementary ko si wifey.

My 2nd card. Napa-waive ko naman yung 1st annual fee ko (2nd year ng card). May mali kasi silang promo sa SOA na inavail ko tapos wala daw pala ganun. Inilaban ko yun, with all the emails from HSBC. Ayun, na-credit back yung annual fee na na-charge sakin.

Edit. Pwede mapa-waive ang annual fee nila as long as you meet their requirements (min. purchases per month) and prompt payments of your bills (no revolving).

Ayaw ko din ng Citi.

Citibank? No way! Never again.

Been using Shell Citibank CC since 1998, no major problems so far. Ayaw nila i waive yung annual fee kasi laki ng rebate ko sa shell tapos zero pa lagi ang SOA ko.

Lagi pala nila ako kinukulit taasan yung credit limit ko kasi 60k lang talaga ang gusto ko.

^pinapaalam pa ba saiyo yun increase ng credit limit mo sa citibank? eh sa akin pag dating ng statement kasama na eh automatic na increase na

May credit card ba ang Chinabank???

Wala pa.

Never ever touched Citibank since my wife was also pissed at their service and arrogance.

Bago ako mag abroad last year yung tawag nila asking me if I want an increase in my credit limit as much as 500k.

Kakatawag ko lang ngayon, tinaasan ng mga mokong ang credit limit ko from 60k to 100k without my permission. Pina down grade ko ulit to 60k, bukas daw effectivity.

Sa akin walang paaalam never Did they call me if I want an increase or not basta pag dumarating SOA meron ng letter na na increase ako or meron sila padala na letter stating na increase credit limit

No problems with Citibank credit card usage here. A couple of things I don't like though - the auto-increase of credit limit ; and they send you a letter with a check for you to deposit, sort of a pre-approved personal loan which bugs me alot!

While we're on a topic of credit card services, I have received a pre-approved card from BDO with hefty a credit limit. I've kept the car for a while now and I'm thinking of switching cards for a change. I'll still keep my trusty CTB and use this instead but I wanna ask for feedback from Tsikot cardholders.

>How'd you find BDO card services, especially their CS hotlines?
>Did you experiences problems with POS at establishments? Online usage?
>Do they waive their Annual Fees?


TIA.
