High Fees And Fasle Promises
Citibank
(2 stars)Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Fees if you don't maintain a high balance.
Fees to use ATMs. Citi hardly owns any ATMs; I don't understand how they can get away without reimbursing the ATM fees.
Fees to get checks.Fees for everything you ask.
Promises bonuses like $100 or $200 to open account, but you need to go through a million hops to satisfy the requirements, wait 6 months and then if you are lucky you may receive the promised bonus. 99% of the time, you need to be behind them after the 6 month period is over to get anywhere with those promised bonuses.
Rates suck, any credit union rates are much better.
Credit card department is different from banking department and they don’t care about each other. It feels like you are dealing with two different banks even though they are the same.
