I spoke with the MyCard call centre today and they said I will definitely be charged the Premier $199 annual fee. My anniversary is March, and I was not charged the fee in March, but she assured me I will be charged in March next year. Has anyone with the Citi FFFL actually been charged their annual fee for this card yet? The online chat staff said the company still has not made a decision regarding ongoing fees. The call centre staff were certain there would be a fee. I guess I wait until March next year to see what happens...

Not yet - but us FFFLers are probably a fairly rare breed these days.

I suspect the system probably shows a fee with some override in the back end to prevent it from actually being charged. Hence I wouldn't worry unless you do get charged.

Stop calling them! FFS. All you are doing is flagging this for them to review, instead of sailing below the radar.

Imagine you got stopped by a cop for speeding. After the cop return your licence, saying to you don't speed again, then they walk away; but instead of driving away, you get out of your car and chase the cop down, then say to them "So are you going to give me a ticket?"

Stop. Just stop

If this is bugging you so much that you can't keep quiet, then please get into the cop car, and beg them to write you an infringement notice. At least you would be sure that you really are going to have to pay a fine.

I mean just cancel your card and move on.

Don't ruin this for everyone else.
