I also received a call from citibank and informed that they are going to give free credit card for my entire life. But in a polite manner I said, NO. Few of my colleagues already joined in this free credit card scheme. God only knows the credit card will be a burden for their entire life because it is life time card !!! Happening in Bangalore too....
