In the last two days I’ve received e-mails from readers stating that Citi has refunded the annual fee on their Citi Premier card. The line item shows up as ‘refund membership fee’ and the full $95 is refunded (see below).
In all cases the cards are still open and the refund was posted on March 30th. Neither myself or the readers involved know why this refund was offered and Citi has provided no explanation either. If you have a Citi Premier it might be worth checking your account to see if this has happened to you. If anybody has any theories on why this has happened, let us know in the comments below.
