The Anatomy of the Citibank Classic card: a body of services and peace of mind for students, now with No Annual Fee. For years, scientists could only theorize about the Citibank Classic Visa® card, unable to actually observe anything below its epidermal surface (i.e. the plastic). Surely the highly intelligent services were evidence of an advanced brain. But with the latest advances in x-ray technology, and when the light could catch the various parts just so, it was confirmed: the Citibank Classic Visa card is head to toe more evolved than ever imagined. U At its backbone are 3 services to cover the purchases you make on the card. Starting at the Lower Costal Spine, we see Citibank Price Protection can assure you of the best price. All you have to do is discover the same item advertised in print for less, within 60 days, and Citibank will refund the difference up to $1501 Along the Oops-It-Slipped Disc, Buyers Security51" can cover those purchases against accidental damage, fire or theft, for 90 days from the date of purchase1; and Citibank Lifetime Warranty8"1 allows one to extend the warranty for the expected service life of eligible Monarch Notes* Version: With Scientists theorize that the mind of the Citibank Classic Visa cardmember (Fig. A) is secure because it receives superior products Up to 12 years2. So if VOU ever buy a Walkman, your purchases covered, no annual service; the mind of the non-Citibank Classic Visa cardmember (Fig. B) is not secure because-couid it be?-u has a screw loose? & stereo, whatever, it will be reassuring to knofeew, anthadt a low rate, the Citibank Citibank can bend and be flexible while still lending support.

The fact is, it doesn't have one, not in the spinal cord nor in the brain. What it has is the Very Calm System. Because even if your credit card gets stolen, or gets lost, an involuntary muscle called the Extendus Anewcardeus activates the Lost Wallet5"1 Service which can replace your card usually within 24 hours. H As suspected, there's another involuntary muscle: the heart—a beating and caring heart, big enough to give students special discounts and savings. \bu'll receive a $20 Airfare Discount on domestic flights3; savings on mail order purchases, sports equipment, magazines and music; a low variable interest rate of 15.4%4; and, No Annual Fee. (In other words, the card itself doesn't cost a forelimb and a hindlimb.) H Naturally the heart of the Citibank Visa card pumps life and personalized customer service into all its parts, 24 hours a day. So no matter what the question you might have concerning your card, you need only call the 800 number. "You'll find Citibank has a neck they are eager to stick out for you. They will always lend an ear. Or a hand. They will keep an eye out for you. They will put their best foot forward. Etc. U So call to apply. \bu don't need a job or a cosigner. And CITIBAN
