Received my Citi credit card statement today. Tucked away on Page 3 was a notice that my interest rate had been changed from 8.99% 14.99% to 28.99%. Hey Citigroup, do I look like Henry Paulson?

12/18 update: Just received this in an email from Citi:

“We are pleased to inform you that we have raised the credit line of your Citi(R) Diamond Preferred(R) Rewards account to $xxxxxx. This increase was a result of our ongoing credit review program. We wanted to acknowledge the responsible way you have maintained your account.”

dumb mistake. i’m pretty sure Paulson has more hair. And a much larger check book.

A little bit like Paulson, more like Bob Newhart I think.

i bet BobfreakingNewhart isn’t paying 29% on his credit cards

I’m betting you won’t be paying 29% for long either…time to find a way to get them paid off…

Bob Newhart is God! (in a comic sense). All comparisons to him are a compliment.
