Does anyone know how long the account has to remain open?
And what qualifies as a direct deposit for citi?

Di the $15k only, or you're risking a 1099, regardless of what he says.

Used to be 2.5cpp, 6cpp is insane :(

If it Citi is paying <2cpp, how could they claim a tax basis of 6cpp?

As of last year it was 2.5cpp which on 30K would have been = $750. (anything over $600 gets a 1099 misc). For a while they had offers under 24K to avoid this customer problem (15k for citibank or 20k for citigold) but I guess they went back to the richer offer anyway.
