0:18 Citibank Cards, good afternoon.
0:21 Hello. My name is Jason Stewart.
0:25 Hello Mr. Stewart. You are talking to Frank. How can I help you?
0:30 I didn’t receive my credit card statement. Can you help me out with this ?
0:35 Okay. I’ll need your credit card number so that I can access your account.
0:40 Sure. Its 4323 5764 6354 6912.
0:52 Alright. I’ll also need to ask you a couple of verification questions.
0:57 Yes, no problem.
1:00 What’s the month of your birth?
1:03 January
1:04 And your mother’s first name?
1:06 Its Helen.
1:08 Perfect. Do you want it sent through email or regular mail?
1:12 I need that as soon as possible so please mail it to me.
1:17 Sure. Your credit card statement will be sent to you within 24 hours. Is there anything else I may help you with?
1:23 No. Thank you.
1:32 Hi Paul, how are you?
1:35 I’m good Jason but you look stressed out. What happened?
1:39 Man, I’ve just received my final credit card statement. Gosh, it’s ugly. I don’t know if I’ll be able to pay all of it.
1:49 You should have used it carefully Jason. How much is it ?
1:52 Almost $3000!
1:56 Gee... that’s too much indeed!
1:59 I know. But it wasn’t me. It was my wife. She used it a lot when she traveled.
2:06 Well...It seems she bought everything she put her eyes on!
2:10 Tell me about it. Anyway, I’ll talk this through with the bank and see what can be done.
2:18 Good luck, man. You’ll need it.
2:25 I’ve made up my mind already. I’m taking the blue one.
2:30 Great choice. Are you paying in cash as usual, Mr. Jason?
2:35 Actually Kate, I would like to pay through my credit card this time.
2:39 Sure, no problem.
2:41 Are there any specific banks you deal with or any bank would do?

2:51 In that case, I’m sure my Citibank one will do then, right?

3:27 Yeah, I got it.
3:30 When you fill in the information, your bank will send a confirmation code to your cell phone.
