Hi all

My first post *however joined a while back.

Just received an email from Citi/NAB advising of a annual fee increase as in title above. Seems many institutions are looking at recouping grandfathered fee free or **fixed fee for life CC’s.

I’ve had the card since 1989 and now occasionally use the card, emergency use only and 99$ per year was a cost benefit advantage to me. Now that I hardly use the card - a 201$ increase *albeit in June 2025 is another catalyst, jumped ship from 28* in August.

The 579,791 Rewards points I’ll most likely convert to Virgin Australia.


So should I convert to Citi Simplicity?
