I applied for this Citi MtvU card when I was a student and I loved it until today.

They started to charge interest on the day I used it. When the statement comes, it’s too late. Even though you pay the full amount by the due date, they will charge you 12+% and you will find out in the next statement.

This card was for students those who have little income and low credit history. You might be too busy for studying, not enough time to look at your credit card statement or you might have already set up automatic payment, because you are young and busy. Stop using this card. You might end up paying total of $20 or more for a year and don’t realize it. Still no annual fee, but this is a very bad deal for student.

I used to like this card and Citibank, now I HATE THEM!
