I have Citi Indian oil card from last 12 years as LTF..
So yes …they have offered LTF cards
Call up the customer care and first confirm if your card is really a LTF or not. If Yes, they will reverse it easily; send a mail too if needed. If No, then request them to waive it off this time mentioning that you were not aware of; shoot out a mail for it too. Depending on your profile/request, they might waive it off.
this is first time they have charged in last 5 yrs. if it was not LTF then how come no charges till now
They send sms few months ago if min 30k trxn is not done for my citi indian oil…then annual fee will be charged
you are right. I just checked and there is a SMS mentioning same.
problem is nowadays no one has offers for Citi cards to spend 
Citi bank is very reluctant to offer LTF cards. I use to have a Citi premium miles card for 7 years and had to pay 3000 rupees plus taxes as membership feels every year. It was primarily a travel card with lounge access etc so last year due to lockdown I didn’t feel it’s worth paying the membership fees .Called Citi and spoke to their retention department. They flat out refused to covert the card to LTF. They were willing to offer me some 8k cashback but I refused it and asked them to cancel the card.
Yep, even I have been charged for first time in last 7 years of Citi card. Hardly any offers for CIti and hence my spending has gone down from 2 Lacs to less than 10k last year (Got Amex during this period)
as far as i know, CITI does not offer any card as LTF.
You need to spend 30k in one year to get waived off for rewards card
