About LinkBacksI lost my wallet over the weekend, so naturally I had cards to cancel and replace. For some reason, Citi won't let me pay part of my balance. I totally understand freezing any purchases/cash advances, but why stop payments?

They don't want any activity on your account until everything is cleared up. This is partly because they will be giving you a new number and want to make sure it is credited correctly.
Don't worry about it. They would count you late.

I'm not worried about being late, I just had the payment amount in mind and didn't want to have to do the math again once the account was unfrozen.
But that makes sense, too. I suppose a fraudulent payment would be just as problematic as a fraudulent purchase.Cards I Carry:
