Those numbers are kind of scary to look at, but if you don’t use cash advances, and pay our bill on time, then there isn’t really much to worry about.

Well i just got both my Citibank statements Biff B and both rates are changing. Mind you i always pay large sums not just minimum payments and my middle score on my credit report is 728. Luckily i only owe about $2,500 between the 2 so im paying the $500 off right away and shutting it down; the other card with the $2k on it i’m transferring to my chase card that has a 0% apr till may then 8.9. Citibank is going after its customers big time!!!

Just checked both of mine since you scared the heck out of me. Both are still the same and I have not received any mail informing me of changes. We had some financial difficulties over the last couple of years and are digging our way out. We have both of these cards. I would have to look into changing to someone else after I worked very hard with both to get the interest rates lowered. I will be keeping a close eye on them.

I received a similar notice from Chase, I don’t recall the exact interest rate but it was significantly higher than it had been. Yet another reminder to not carry a balance.
