Citi PremierPass Card is listed as having no annual fee, but the small print on the site stipulates: “Annual fee applies”.
Wtf? Seems like bait and switch to me.
Edit to add: See Comment #5, below.

The Citi Premier Pass Elite card has an annual fee, but the regular Premier Pass card does not have an annual fee. Look at the application page again.
Also note that I have these cards listed in different sections based on the presence/absence of an annual fee.
