how do you recieve a bill on it?

I think your bills get mailed to CitiBank, they scan them in and e-mail you upon receipt of the bills.

If you pay a lot of bills ($1000+) it's worth looking into.

Not look at link - but is there a limit (dollar)? I get the equivalent to a penny per dollar I spend, so $500 in bills would pay the $5/month off right there.

It appears that you must fund your bill-pay with your Citibank credit card, right?

Since it's a CitiBank exclusive feature found on the CitiBank web site only for CitiBank customers, then yes I'd say that's a safe assumption

Just my luck RossMan. I just signed up for the Chase credit card, that we talked about, this morning. Jeez.

Chase has better perks but I still prefer my CitiBank cc I dunno why.

manly - Chase online is broken 50% of the time for me, quite annoying.

CitiBank or Chase could swallow up MBNA in a burp.

When they're done drinking perhaps they can get their website fixed up MBNA is down 1-2% of the time.

Well they're just good, that's all! Other than the fact that they approved both myself and mrsskoorb when we had no US credit (with $2500 and $3000 unsecured limits, respectively; we did have Canadian credit they were able to check), their customer service has been quite satisfactory to me, their website works almost all the time, and they have of course the one-time use numbers and have for a while.

Chase Online is still down.

Course it is. Get a new card!

RossMAN, does citibank offer any type of Low Price Guarantee/Best Value Guarantee similar to the Chase or American Express credit cards?

I think they have (or had) one cc which offers BVG, you'll have to look for yourself here.

I did that and even called customer service....it is amazing how often customer service doesn't even know all tht much about products they sell.

I had the same problem just recently with US Robotics, Chase credit cards, and Yahoo ISP.

Sometimes it's just a matter of getting lucky and talking to the right person...I'll try again a little later.

I spoke with a Citibank representative and he practically laughed at me when I asked him if I could use Bill Manager to pay bills funded by a Citibank credit card. He directed me to the same site RossMAN did:

http://www.citibank.com/us/cards/tour/cb/bm.htm

and the second bulleted item specifically states:

" Make your online bill payment from a checking or savings account"


Does anyone know of any online bill paying services that allow payment funded from a credit card?

The places I have checked and have been told "no" are:

Citibank
Chase
E*trade
Yahoo


Thanks.
