Best Buy Citi Approved! QUESTIONS THOUGH!

[klrmac]

So I was at Best Buy looking at the 4K UHD TVs and I decided to pull the trigger on apping for the Best Buy card for the no interest financing for the TV.

I was denied the Best Buy store card... but the guy at the register had to call the bank, and when he did, the lady spoke to me over the phone, denied the store card again, and then told me that I was however, approved for a Citi Bank Best Buy Visa card with a SL of $500.

I figured meh why not accept it and go from there.

I will finally have my foot in the door with Citi Bank but I heard this card isn't the greatest especially with a $56 annual fee or something like that.

Do you think I can recon the SL? Or at least get the annual fee waived before the card arrives? Or should I wait until it arrives?

Credit score 646.

I never knew this card had an annual fee! Is this something new? What are the perks that warrant the fee?

4 versions of card.. 2 visa versions one with AF and one without AF and two versions of store card (not sure why on this one)

The ONLY reason I chose to accept it was to get my foot in the door with Citi. I'll probably never even use it. I'm thinking about calling a backdoor number once I get the card and get the annual fee waived.

I was successful on all 3 of my capital on cards doing that once I received them.
