Bad experience with Citi Diamond Preferred this morning. I had problems online initially, was approved for a small amount. Wanted to discuss via chat or phone - was transferred to FOREIGN customer service people with 3 phone calls, given wrong information etc. Now, I show on my credit status an approval (too early to cancel or talk with someone - I have to wait 24 hours now to even discuss the approval/card - and now worry about my account info floating around overseas! If American companies do not support America's out of work citizens - how can we expect our nation to improve its economy? I did email Citi bank - let's hope they respond from someone in THIS country.

Thank you for this information. I am extremely frustrated because just this past month I transferred from CTI ( I was coming to the end of my free lunch Zero interest.) to Discover and I haven't even paid a first payment and they added $217 to my bill for fees and upped my monthly payment (I paid $108 per month to CTI) to an unaffordable $191 min. payment. I am retired. So I want to remove my account from discover. and the recommendation of chase gives me hope.
However how much can they charge me for a monthy payment on appx. $7,600?
Can you advise me on this or am I being impolite is asking?
I (as you can guess) am no financial wizard.
