Those tricky folks at Citibank

Today we got our annual account summary from Citibank for our AA mastercard and while it's cool to see how my spouse and I have spent money, it's kinda freaky to see that we burned through $45k in transactions in 2003. Sheesh! But what most bugs me is that I had always thought I had a no-annual-fee credit card with Citi, but there's a $50 'membership' fee shown here that I know is the annual fee. But I'm 95% sure that I signed up with it being no annual fee.
