Remember that scene in Empire Strikes Back when Darth Vader double-crosses Lando and takes Princess Leia with him? Lando goes, "You promised you'd leave the girl with me! That wasn't part of our deal!" and Vader is all, "I am altering the terms of our agreement. Pray that I don't alter it any further." Remember that?

That's how I felt when I got home today to a letter from Citibank informing me that they have altered the terms of my credit card agreement.

We had a deal, Citibank! Damn you!

Fleet did this to me as well before they were purchased by BofA. I was notified a couple of months ago they were succesfully sued in a class action lawsuit for changing fixed terms. If you read the fine print, you have a deadline to close the account. Meaning, you can't use the card anymore, but you can keep the original terms to pay off the remaining balance.

Interesting.. I'll look into that, since I don't use the cards anymore anyway.
