I was on XXXX on XX/XX/2015 looking for airline tickets when it popped up that my airline ticket would be {$160.00} and that if I apply for an XXXX + XXXX credit card I would instantly get {$100.00} dollars off making it {$60.00} instead. I clicked on the credit card link and it gave me XXXX options : the XXXX + XXXX credit card or the XXXX + Citi credit card. I applied for the XXXX + credit card. I have excellent credit. I was told I was approved and would get my card within 7 days in the mail. I called CitiBanks who said that did n't know why it did n't give me an instant access code but that there was nothing they could do now. I told them to cancel my credit card then but they did not and told me to call back in 48 hours and they could give it to me then. On XX/XX/2015, I called back and they told me that there was still nothing they could do and they could not give me my card number over the phone. I again asked them to cancel the card as I really did not want to wait 7 days to get the card in the mail as I was promised instant prior to applying for the credit. And they canceled it. I am reporting this because I feel that I was scammed and lied to. I would never have applied to the card if I had been told up front that it would take 7 days to get the card. I am very upset with the way I was treated. Citi banks and XXXX both were misleading. I now am 3 days delayed in buying airline tickets so I may not get as good of a selection and they will be more expensive. I am letting you know so that this type of scam can be prevented in the future. I should never have been treated this way and others should not be either. Thank you!
