[…] Citigold Checking 50K ThankYou Points Bonus […]

Dan

I applied under he AA however as an FYI to everyone. They sent the kits which was only the checks. So I called the 800# after 2 weeks and they said I had to request the debit card but could only send me the ATM version now. They said the account had to be open for 30 days before I got the debit card. Has anyone else had this experience?

[…] PNC?  $15.  US Bank?  $16.  Luckily I had recently opened a CitiGold checking account (to get 50,000 points, of course).  Citi normally would charge a fee, but not to CitiGold customers.  Cool.  Citi told me to use […]

I applied for this account and was approved, After receiving my kit I contacted customer support to check my eligibility, she told me even though I got approved I am not eligible for this offer as I did not get the promotion from citi. Not sure what I should do now , any guidance will be appreciated

James

My application (10/3) was denied. Is it possible due to I opened 4 credit cards last month (9/1)?
Should I go to Citi branch and try again?
Any suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks

Will

mine got declined too (10/14). I also applied 3 cc on 10/06. I called them, and being told that I will receive the letter in one week. Did you receive your letter from Citi?

Eric

What was the message on the screen when you were declined? Why would applying for credit cards have anything to do with applying for a checking account? Doesn’t one check your credit report(s) while the other checks your Chex report?

James

Yes, I received letter from Citi said:

” Due to information we received from the consumer reporting agency (Equifax), we are unable to open an account for you at this time”

Eric

Wow, so banks do check our credit reports when we attempt to open a checking account? Was it a soft or hard pull?

James

I thought it should be soft, however, the description looks like hard pull.

Will

I bet I will get the same letter. Thanks for sharing. I am going to try it later, like December.

I have a way and would like to know if its going to work.
I will open up the citi premier card now which has 3000 requirement to get 50 k points. After opening that I will be eligible to open this Citigold account so another 50k points. If I fund my Citigold using newly opened premier card would that count towards the minimum spend of cc?
Thanks

[…] posted by FrequentMiler, there are currently two Citibank Citigold offers worth taking advantage of if you can.  Once is […]

I just called up citi for this offer and he told me its targeted and I am not eligible for this offer. I have Prestige, premier and thank you preferred cards. Couldn’t do IT online becaz i live in GA.

O

Any data points suggesting you can receive the bonus if you already have a checking acct with them?

James

I don’t see anywhere says ” $30 monthly fee that is waived the first 2 months”. Can you let me know where it is?

Thanks
James

mmmmm…. This one is even easier than the AA miles offer, to bad I already click the “submit” button on the other one.

So on the 1099 concern, is this in aggregate across all Citibank products (including Credit Cards)? Or is it limited to banking?

In other words, if I get a Credit Card with a 50,000 point signup bonus and this account in the same calendar year, am I all-but guaranteed to get a 1099 or is it limited to the Citigold account?

Long as we’re on this topic, if I get multiple Credit Cards (but no bank account) am I in danger of getting this 1099 on those products as well? I’m just now getting into Citibank with their AA card and would be good to know if I’m risking a 1099 or should back off their product line…

I signed up for Citigold under the 40k offer on 9/28. Just sent them a SM asking to be matched to the current offer. Fingers crossed.

Can these points be transferred to transfer partners or must they be used to buy tickets directly?
