Lost Credit Card

[NiM]

I lost my Citibank Credit a couple of months ago. Had it cancelled and replaced. No problems.

Citibank sent me a statement the other day for the new credit card (which has a new number). The statement included a charge for the annual fee. I already paid this fee only a couple of months ago for the credit card I lost.

Do I really need to pay the annual fee again just because I had the card replaced?

Sounds to me like a CitiBank stuffup.

If the fee and description is the same as the annual fee you just paid, then phone up and complain. It makes no logical sense to charge a yearly fee on a replacement card.

Are you sure it's not a replacement fee in disguise?

It looks like an error. I had my Platinum card replaced within a couple of days and no fees charged to replace.
