Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. ()

This case began with the inability of Citicard AAdvantage to receive a payment from my XXXX XXXX account Citicard 's system did not accept ACH payment info from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account. I was supposed to receive XXXX  AAdvantage miles for opening the account and spending {$3000.00} within six months after opening it. When I called Citicard about the issue and talked to an agent named XXXX, I was promised the XXXX miles, recision of late payment and interest charges, that no info affecting my credit score would be transmitted to credit reporting agencies and that I would receive documentation of all calls and correspondence with Citicard. Citicard broke every promise made by its agent. I have repeatedly faxed multiple offices of Citicard and received no reply. Correspondence, including online chat with another Citicard representative, is pasted below.
