Wallner Tue, 21 Dec 2010 13:38:51 +0000 http://bankvibe.com/?p=2419#comment-18715 The CITI secured Mastercard website specifically states 1% interest since February 2010. If they have a 4.17% APY as you state above it is not listed on their website and you need to clarify your printed article's validity. In addition, I pulled up the terms and conditions of the offer. The application states in paragraph three that “You must not have any bankruptcy history, write off history or account in collections within the last two years.” This statement would disqualify the majority if not all of the applicants trying to rebuild their credit. Good journalism requires thorough research. The CITI secured Mastercard website specifically states 1% interest since February 2010.

They took my money and limited my credit limit to $2000 dollars for the first 60 days even though they had assured me I will have access to the full amount I deposited ($7500). I told them that this is not mentioned in the application or the website or even the tiny print of the terms and conditions, they told me to go screw myself and that they won't fix this. They are the worst financial institution and have the least competent employees. Everyone I know have had problems with Citibank. Do not let Citibank make a fool of you like they did with me.
