The Anatomy of the Citibank
Classic card: a body of services and peace of mind
for students. 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
---F . F g.B is head to toe more evolved than ever imagined. 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
Scientists theorize that the mind of the Citibank Classic Visa advertised in print for less, within 60 days, and Citibank
cardmember (Fig. A) is secure because it receives superior
service; the mind ofthe non-Citibank Classic Visa cardmember
(Fig. B) is not secure because-could it be-it has a screw loose? will refund the difference up to $150. Along the Qops-It-
Slipped Disc, Buyers Security'"'can cover those purchases against accidental damage, fire or theft, for 90
days from the date of purchase'; and Citibank Lifetime Warranty"" allows one to extend the warranty
for the expected service life of eligible products up to 12 years2 So if you ever buy a walkman, a stereo,
whatever, it will be reassuring to know that Citibank can bend and be flexible while still lending support.
The backbone is then connected to the cranium or headbone. You can actually see it on the top left
hand corner of the card. Look at the bottom of the page. The Citibank Photocard has the head of the
cardholder on it, as well as his or her own signature, right on the front. That way, it will help prevent fraud.
It will make a good form of ID as well, since you get to choose your own photo. But what about the
Nervous System? 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 Wallets' Service which can replace your card usually
within 24 hours. As suspected, there's another involuntary muscle: the heart-a beating and caring
heart, big enough to give students special discounts and savings. You'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.)1 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. Citibank representatives each have 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.' So call to apply. You don't need a job or a cosigner. And call if you'd
like your photo added to your regular Citibank Classic Visa CTBAN
card. The number is 1-800-CITIBANK (1-800-248-4226), s7
