Which number did you call, and what did you tell them? Did they refund you because it was within 60 days?

[yankelsheester]

usually they  don't refund if its after 37 days the from when the AF posted,

i just complained since my account was closed there's no reason why i should pay a annual fee

[yankelsheester]

Hey, someone mentions GB....

[moishe1]

i sent a letter to citi asking for my annual fee, and i just got a check in the mail.
i also sent a letter asking to give me a weekend certificate that i earned with the hilton reserve card, i got a letter saying it should be sent to me by email soon.

Can you post a copy of the letter that you sent, so that others can adapt from it?

Interesting. Did you actually not get the Hilton cert before? And who pays AF with Citi? Unless you paid it and got a statement credit for it.

[Zalmenz]

Please post which address you mailed letter too.
As well as what points u brought up in the letter

On mobile so I don't have it, but I sent it to the same address that is listed in the letter. Regardless points were simple. I have good banking /credit history, and being shut down with no explanation is both wrong and painful.

No need to bother... A response hasb(so far) never come.

a letter will help to get back the annual fee....you could call a bunch of times or send one letter, which worked for me.

no i did not get it yet. i actually called to cancel the card because of the annual fee, the rep told me to keep it open and close it after i get the certificate

Any news on this? Are they still active?

I bought a OV @ Rite Aid, CC was declined (fraud alert / act. locked) called in and they took off the fraud alert, then went to WM bought 2 VGC's first one approved and on the second one I got an email to confirm that it's me, I also made a purchase on GCM.com and a few @ S&S, all within 2 days, total 6k

Do you people think I should calm down? Am I @ risk of getting A/A'd?
I need to finish my 10k by the end of the month (to get back the AF)
