3 Get your first $100 credited to your
new checking account.
4 Continue making a direct deposit or at least two electronic bill payments each month for the next three consecutive months and get an additional $100.

I got this today too! I also have an offer for the 40000 thank you points if I put $25000 into a new citibank savings account. I'm hoping that I can combine both of these offers.

Looks like the EZ checking does not qualify. Citibank Account requires a combined balance of 6k (across checking, savings, MM etc.) to avoid a mnthly charge. The other accounts require a higher minimum balance.

is there no charge for electronic bill payments? If so this sounds good since I can just fund the account with enough money to pay my bills online for about 5 months then close the acct.

What kind of AOR balances are required for the citi everything counts account to avoid fees?

For $200 it's almost worth sucking down $10-15 in fees for a few months - how many months does the account need to be open?

Citi really needs to drop the "One bonus per lifetime" policy for their deposit accounts!

Unlike miserly, the invite I got today does not say * $200 offer is only available for first-time Citibank deposit account customers, and will be paid only once to any individual. Persons who currently have or at any time have had a deposit account at Citibank, N.A. (or any of its predecessor banks) are not eligible.


It says Offer is not available for existing citibank checking customers.
I had an account that i closed last year.
So guess I'll give it a try.

The rule seems to be 2 years. I wouldn't bother if I were you.
