Citibank has a new checking account bonus in which you can earn $200. The promotional code is MVS4. You can call Citibank's toll-free number 1-866-810-9043 to open the account. A reader left a comment about it, and I called and verified it. I'm not aware if there's a promotional webpage or pamphlet. Here are the details:
Open a Citibank checking account (EZ checking does not qualify) with a minimum of $100
First $100 earned after 3 months of direct deposit OR using online bill pay for 2 bills per month
Second $100 earned after 3 more months of direct deposit OR bill pay
Bonuses will be credited to account within 120 days of meeting qualifications
Must be a new Citibank customer with no previous Citibank checking or savings account
Expires February 29, 2008
Can be opened by phone (1-866-810-9043) or at a Citibank Financial Center (be sure to reference promo code MVS4)
The monthly fee for the Citibank checking will be waived as part of this promotion as long as direct deposit or bill pay usage is maintained.
Without direct deposit or bill pay usage, the following fees will be charged: $12.50/mo fee, $0.50/check and $1.50 for non-Citibank ATM withdrawals (fees can also be waived with a $6K balance)
Some important notes regarding Citibank checking accounts:
Hard credit pull is done in the application (can temporarily ding your credit score)
Restrictive online funds transfer service in which outgoing external transfers are limited to a daily limit of $2,000 (was $5K) and a monthly limit of $10,000 (see Citi webpage)
Several readers reported having their accounts closed by Citibank for unclear reasons before receiving bonuses.

Has anyone tried the citibank $200 promotion?
The lists with bonuses were updated on 12/05/07

I just did this over the phone today. See Markber's post here for details. The personal banker I talked with was both very pleasant and knowledgeable. He told me that due to a Citibank policy change a few months ago, they now just use ChexSystems when opening up a checking account -- perhaps for other deposit accounts as well, but I'd want to confirm that. The only exception is if you get overdraft protection, then you'd get a hard credit inquiry, because that involves a line of credit.
Also, after opening up the account with $100 (which can be funded over the phone by e-check or by bringing the funds to a branch -- you've a certain number of days to do this after applying for the account), there is no minimum, as long as you meet the requirement for either a monthly direct deposit or using on-line bill pay for 2 bills per month.
Although they'll send you a welcome packet with a signature card, you can go to your local branch and fill out the signature card there, as well as provide additional information that's required. Your funding check will clear 5 - 7 days after Citibank receives the signature card. Regarding on-line bill pay, the amount is debited from your checking account the day the bill is paid, whether the payment is done electronically or by check (i.e. if the payee isn't on their list of on-line bill system payees). So that's a slight disadvantage with an on-line bill payment check compared with a check you've written yourself.
For those who have never had a savings or checking account with Citibank, this seems like a great deal. (This offer is only good for people new to Citibank with respect to savings and checking accounts.) My spouse will open an account at our local branch next week.
Edited to state that the offer applies only to people who never have had a savings or checking accout with Citibank, as opposed to someone who currently has no accounts with them. Also, a CSR told me that you can verify that you've had no past savings or checkings accounts with Citibank by contacting the account opening folks, at 1-800-745-1534, M-F, 8am - 7pm Central Time. Use option 1 to transfer to the account opening department.
Citibank's $200 promotion is for new (never been) customers only...they are VERY STRICT about this!!!!
Yes, they will open your new checking account but they won't give you the $200 bonus if you have ever had a banking account with them!
That is probably true nowadays. I had to fight for my last easy checking/savings combo, despite the fact that my previous Citi deposit accounts were closed over a year prior to opening and I disclosed that when applying and verified that I would indeed get the bonus. Luckily, the CCS seem to give intro rates & any sign-on bonuses whether or not you had other cards with them before.

I opened a new checking account with Citibank in Sept with this $200 bonus deal (maintain $100 in the account plus 3 months of at least 2 bill pays to earn first $100, and then after another 3 months of 2 bill pays I would get another $100).
I use my 2 Citibank credit cards for my bill pays. Had to be careful to pay the credit cards through the "billpay" link and not the "transfer" link (it doesn't count because they consider it movement between my different citibank accounts), but just got my first $100 deposited into the account without any hassle.

Thanks for pointing this out. Although it's already stated in marber's post that I referenced, I changed my original post to state that the offer is good only for people who have never had a savings or checking account with Citibank.
I also added a contact number for the account opening department that will let you verify whether or not you've had a previous checking or savings account with Citibank: 1-800-745-1534, M-F, 8am - 7pm Central Time. Use option 1 to transfer to the account opening department.
