CreditShield

In these tough economic times, protecting your credit makes more sense than ever.

An unexpected layoff or critical illness can hurt your ability to pay your bills. That's why, especially these days, CreditShield^® is an excellent option.

If you're laid off or disabled for more than 30 days in a row, CreditShield helps you protect your credit rating by making the minimum monthly payments on your Citi™ MasterCard^® account for up to 24 months, up to a maximum of $10,000.

Plus, CreditShield provides you with additional coverage by paying off your account balance (up to $10,000) in the event of:

• being diagnosed with cancer or coronary artery disease
• having a stroke or heart attack
• accidental death
• the loss of a hand, foot or eye

And most importantly, you can still use your Citi MasterCard account without damaging your credit rating.
