I have a Citibank Card. The American Airlines mileage card. Has been a
good card. Paying for 2 kids college educations and one wedding and part
of
the a 2nd one, we get some nice trips. Actually do not know what the
interest rate is as I never run a balance. And when I have been on a trip

out of the US and called to see what the balance was to pay on line, they
have said I could postpone the payment while out of the country. Since I
pay from the checking acct online I declined the delay, and just need the
amount to pay. Others, like me that pay the bill monthly seem to have no
problems with them either.

We used to play the float- when there was one- I would make major cc
purchases right after paying my bill in full and on time to the day - as we
always do w all our cards
I would never pay their interest rates
But they have shortened the period and this is now far more difficult to do

As for Citicorp I also have had only bad experiences - same w Bank of
America - **** 'em both

The new NY Mets ball park is called Citfield
I hope they change the name.
