Citibank switched my card from Visa to MC
I got a letter in the mail yesterday. I did NOT ask to be switched, in fact I already have a MC for personal use,need to keep business use separate so I have the visa. I know there was a thread a while back but the search function won't work for me. If I call to say I don't want to switch will they leave it alone? Anything I can do? Thanks

thepilotswife, was your Citibank Visa expiring? Or, did they just replace your "perfectly good" Visa with a MC?
|
Thanks for the link upgrademe. And Mr Middleseat- No the card doesn't expire until the end of 2004. I don't want another MC!!! What a pain.
|
Same happened to me, call them and you can still get a Visa.

I called customer service to request a replacement card. The CSR asked if I would like to have a Visa in lieu of a MasterCard card. He listed reasons as to why I might want to switch. After listening to him, I said no thank you I'll keep my MasrterCard. He said OK I'll send it right out to you. My new card cam with a new expiration date of 2005. I'm just curious as to why they are trying to switch everyone over to Visa.

I called last night and the RUDE c.s. agent I spoke to told me there was no way to get VISA back, they aren't issuing any more Visa cards. Then I asked for the Sup, a very lovely person who kindly told me I could get my Visa back but that the MC had to be cancelled and a new card # issued, and I could't use the Visa I have if I cancel the MC, so I will use the Visa this week for Business and hopefully they can get me a new card quickly(doubtful). Then I can go about calling all of the autopay merchants(Hassle).
Oh, the Supervisor said she would be sure to discuss the original agents attitude with her! |
Is this Citibank USA or the evil twin Citibank that is partnered with AA? They really do operate separately.

I think its some dispute over how much money the banks get to keep from Visa vs. Mastercard....
