This offer might work with some of the Keesler HIMMA Plus money. I’m thinking about a pretty good chunk of money that must be removed from HIMMA at the end of the month.
Save your screenshots while signing up. Citi doesn’t provide anything. Best / easiest you can do is chat with them to confirm that your account has the bonus promo associated with it.
BTW this isn’t a new promo, it’s been around since at least October. Make sure to follow the terms carefully, because they’re slightly unusual: “Deposit New-to-Citibank Funds into your new checking account within 20 days of account opening. The balance on your 20th day will determine your maximum eligible cash bonus. Maintain the required Minimum Balance* in your eligible account(s) for an additional 60 days from the 21st day.”
And be patient with the bonus posting. They give themselves 90 days to pay you after you’ve met the requirements. Mine took ~45. Other big banks pay out much faster.
When I opened mine about a year ago, they sent two separate pieces of snail-mail: one with a card and the other with a PIN. This can be an issue now with the slow mail delivery.
This offer says you must open account from the very page we’re on now. But if we desire to open a second account, one for spouse, do you suppose it would accept it?
I know I could just try but I’m not ready to go for it now.
No offense meant to the OP or anyone else that posted in this thread, but are there people on here that don’t know about https://www.doctorofcredit.com/ and the fantastic database William Charles and Chuck keep for all the bank bonuses nationwide? Not to mention the invaluable comment section for each bonus.
Got chat transcript. Also looks like they keep previous chat
