    The Anatomy of the Citibank
Classic card: a body of services and peace of mind
for students, now with No Annual Fee. 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 is head to toe more evolved than ever imagined. H 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 advertised in print for less, within 60 days, and
Citibank will refund the difference up to $150'. Along
the Oops-It-Slipped Disc, Buyers Security 8 " 1 can
cover those purchases against accidental damage, fire
or theft, for 90 days from the date of purchase 1 ; and
Citibank Lifetime Warranty 8 " 1 allows one to extend
the warranty for the expected service life of eligible
Scientists theorize that the mind of the Citibank Classic Visa
cardmember (Fig. A) is secure because it receives superior products Up to 12 years 2 . So if you ever buy a Walkman,
service; the mind of the non-Citibank Classic Visa cardmember
(Fig. B) is not secure because—could it be?—it has a screw loose? a stereo, whatever, it will be reassuring to know that
Citibank can bend and be flexible while still lending support. T1 The backbone is then connected to the
cranium or headbone. Look at the bottom of the page. The Citibank Photocard has the head of the
cardholder, as well as his or her own signature, right on the front. That way, it will help prevent fraud. It will
also make a good form of ID, since you get to choose your own photo. H 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 Wallet 8 " 1 Service which can replace your card usually within
24 hours. H As suspected, there’s another involuntary muscle: the heart—a. beating and caring heart, big
enough to give students special discounts and savings. \bu’ll receive a $20 Airfare Discount on domestic
flights 3 ; 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. YouW find Citibank has 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. H 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 card. The number is 1-800-CITIBANK
(1-800-248-4226), extension 19. II If we take an overview of the
whole body of services that make up the Citibank Classic Visa
card, and consider that it will facilitate building a credit history,
then you must shake a leg, flex your index finger and call today.
