I signed up for this under the link provided. Both cards (business and personal) posted annual fees. I, of course, got them reversed. Dont know if the offer is coded wrong or if it was isolated event. Just thought I would pass it on.

John has a distant mustache.

DiMAn0684 said:anyone knows if Citi limits bonus to first time AAdvanage card holders? I got on the similar deal last year and got 25K miles, wondering if I can do it again...
As far as I know, you CAN get multiple bonuses with Citi AA miles. Check flyertalk for confirmation.

buyonsale3 said:I'm trying to apply but after filling out the info, I get an error message. I've tried this on several days. Anyone have a phone number to apply over the phone for this offer?

Keep both since you have been already approved, you may get 50,000 FFMS? Keep us informed and updated please.
Happy travelling.

bedelman said:I applied for this card and was accepted. Much to my surprise, when the first statement arrived, it showed a $75 annual fee. I called customer service, which initially insisted I had to pay that fee. After I pushed back with 1) offering a screenshot of the web page promising waiver of the fee for the first year, plus 2) the fact that Citi's web site still has the fee-waiver option with all other terms also still identical, I was transfered to a supervisor who promptly removed the bogus charge.

A mistake? An intentional "error" to get an extra $75 from those not paying attention. I'm not sure.

No,it happened to me. See my post above. It must be a coding error. And I imagine it will happen to more people.

Ronbo83 said:I just rechecked the website and it does now show a $75 fee for the business version of this card. It did not show that when I applied 2 weeks ago, so not able to get a screen shot if I run into this problem. The others do clearly show 0 fee for the first year however.

From the Offer Page:
"3 As of September 21, 2007, standard variable APR for purchases-17.74%; standard variable APR for cash advances-22.74%. However, if you default under any Card Agreement, Citi® may automatically increase the rate on balances (including promotional balances) to a variable default rate of 31.74%. The annual fee for the Citi® Platinum Select® / AAdvantage® World MasterCard®, the Citi Select(SM) / AAdvantage® American Express® card and the CitiBusiness® / AAdvantage® MasterCard® is $0 for the first twelve months and $85, $85 and $75, respectively, thereafter. Minimum finance charge-$.50. Foreign purchase transaction fee-3% of purchase amount after its conversion into U.S. dollars. Cash advance fee-3% of cash advance amount, $5 minimum. Balance transfer fee for the Citi® Platinum Select® / AAdvantage® World MasterCard® and the Citi Select(SM) / AAdvantage® American Express® card-3% of balance transfer amount, minimum $5. Balance transfer fee for the CitiBusiness® / AAdvantage® MasterCard®-3% of balance transfer amount; minimum $5, maximum $50."

Even though if you click through all three, the business one does state annual fee but who clicks through to the "terms and conditions" besides us FWers. Anyways, I do think as long as it states NO ANNUAL FEE on the Offer Page plus the fine print then Citi should honor it. The pain is calling them and the hassle they put us through. Citi is always a hassle across all their lines of business. Don't take NO for an answer, be persistent and firm, I know I will be.

bedelman said:Ronbo, I just went to www.away6.citicards.com -- the address in the original post. Plain as can be, that page still says "No annual fee for the first 12 months." That prominent text appears at the top-left, plainly applicable to all three of the cards that follow.

Are you looking at some other site? If that's the page where you began your signup, you could make a screenshot of that page now.

The annual fee for the Citi® Platinum Select® / AAdvantage® World MasterCard®, the Citi Select(SM) / AAdvantage® American Express® card and the CitiBusiness® / AAdvantage® MasterCard® is $0 for the first twelve months and $85, $85 and $75, respectively, thereafter.

I'm trying to click through the OP link and sign up.

I had no trouble last night at home.

Today at work I can't click through.

It seems to be something with this stupid Kasperian antivirus on our PCs.

I've recently had trouble clicking through for FatCash.

However, I even copied the shortcut, and removed the bounce from fatwallet portion of the link, and I see it showing that its going to the away6.citicards.com site, and then it jumps to the bridge whatever name, and stops rather than bouncing on through.

I tried this in both IE and foxfire mozzilla, and I get the same result.

Anyone have an idea how I can friggin get to the offer page to sign up?

Thats nonsense.....work at work. HA

Anyway, Its something to do with this stupid antivirus. I got the password to disable it, and now it clicks through fine. That stupid thing has cost me FatCash recently.

Do you have to have a real business to apply for the business card? I know for AMEX it doesn't matter, but have no idea about citi. Thanks!
