Due to the many people at Fatwallet, me included, making hundreds of dollars with Citi Retention, they have ended the $100 Citi Protector gas rebate program. All you can get now is this free DVD player. Knowing full well Citi wanted me to stay on the program, I called today to cancel my account only to get more freebies from them. Here’s how my conversation went:
Me dialing 1-888-253-3663
- CSR: How can I help you?
- Me: I’m calling to cancel the Citi Credit Protector.
- CSR: Well sir..did you know that..blah blah blah..how great Citi Protector..blah blah blah
- Me: I’m not sure…I don’t think I need this anymore..
- CSR: Well..you are now almost a year with the program…I see that 40cent on a dollar…blah blah
- Me: I’m not so sure if I still want this…(*Again, I’m being very vague and iffy..so they can give me some offers)
- CSR: Well, sir, I can send you $50 in gift certificate either Walmart, Lowes, Sears, etc if you stay with us.
- Me: Okay, thanks.
So there, another batch of $50 in Walmart gift cards. Since my balance on my citi card is always 0, it doesn’t cost me anything to stay on. What sucks is that they will send out five – 10 dollars certificates that you must mail in. It’s a hassle but hey, free money is free money.
