I just got back from my Europe trip and opened all my mail. I opened my Citibank statement and saw a charge for $776.15 (1260 Swiss Francs) for a restaurant where I ate pizza. The realy charge was supposed to be for $7.76 (12.60 Swiss Francs). Good thing I have the receipt. Hope the dispute pans out okay.

It was in a Geneva train station. How good could it be? The best pizza was at Gino's in Milan.

i've been like-ing citibank more and more lately.

first of all, they didn't raise my interest rates since i lost my job (which two of my other cc's did.)

and, they actually called me about a wierd charge on my account a few weeks ago..

and guess how much that charge was for

$1.01

how funny is that? i think it was sprint, but i told them not to authorize it. if i owe them money, they will let me know.

i'm pretty sure its on my credit report. or at least the fact that i'm collecting unemployment.

how do you think they figure out your credit limits?? and i know that income isn't everything, but its definitly something they look at.
