My jaws almost dropped when I saw this month's statement: $480 charged for annual fee (before GST). Who the h***, in the right frame of mind, will pay that amount for a f****** common platinum card which every bank offers? Siao ah? Especially when I only spend $9.50 on movie tickets with that card this month, it's fascinating to find my bill hit $523.10. Someone needs to enlighten those guys in *******d ********d bank.
The service officer promptly offered to waive my annual fee when I first questioned if there was an error in that amount. To be fair, she was really polite and even mentioned that they have now lowered it to $100++. But why is my bill still reflecting $480? I don't think charging an obnoxious amount for the annual fee makes the card any more prestigious than changing it into a black card. Oh yeah... what's with banks issuing black credit cards these days? Mmm...
