Citibank- code words to get past automated attendant to live representative

I answer every automated question with the word "gobblygoop". Since it can't recognize the word it does not have a preprogramed response, and always gets me through.

That's awesome. Now I wanna try "kanooter valve"
 
I get several hundred dollars rebate with my Costco Citi Bank Credit Card. No issues. Sometimes it's much more when we travel.
 
Pressing 0 (zero) when they expect your answer should take you to a warm body.
That doesn't work on many numbers now because it's too easy. It's happened to me. Usually it's just puts you back to the beginning of the prompts.
 
I have a few different credit cards from the same bank in the past and it is typically about how much of a potential money maker they can get from you that dictates what kind of service you get.

If they don't think they can milk you much you get automated response, then maybe offshore rep, then US rep somewhere, then a local branch rep, then maybe some VIP one to one client specialist, and maybe they hire the kind of people you like to hang out with, then maybe even hire your son to be a sales rep to daddy's business.

I typically just keep hitting 0 to get an operator, or file a fraud case to get a human's attention, etc.
 
Makes you wonder why so many are in support of big corps and this type of business model.

I just babble incoherently.....

It's kind of fun at this point.
