I arrived home tonight to some bad news. I received a letter from Citi Bank letting me know they are raising the annual fee on my Citi AAdvantage card from $85 to $95.
The reason for the change in annual fee, "In April 2012, we upgraded the benefits that came with your
Citi / AAdvantage credit card. These exciting benefits resulted in a change in the card's annual membership fee."
The only major benefit, I remember, is a 10% rebate of AAdvantage miles redeemed. Is that worth $10 more a year?
The change happens in May 2013 on your next anniversary. For me that is in October.
A copy of the letter I received is below:
This letter made my decision easier.... Na Na Na, Hey Hey Goodbye Citi AAvantage?
Did you get a similar letter? If so, does it change your mind in keeping this card?
