Updated code for 50,000 AA miles:  WD3QFS2Y4C  valid till 3/31/2016
Citigold 50k

50k TY or 50k AA miles for opening a CitiGold checking account.
Requirements:
  - Bill pay at least 1 non citi bill a month for 2 calendar months
  - Spend $1k on debit card (only required for the 50k aa offer the 50k ty only requires bill pay)

Has $30/month fee (waived by keeping $50K in account) starting in month 3.
Miles/points post 90 days after completing reqs.


Update: As of 2/9/2016, credit card can no longer be used as a funding source.

For AA bonus it is very important that you have either the Citi AA plat or executive card first, as the bonus offer is only offered to cardholders, and they get your AA number from those cards.
Similarly for TY points bonus requires a TY Citi credit card.

Great. Put it in wiki.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Set your CA limit to zero and tell them to go ahead, CA or not. DROPR.

Pretty sure they can't set it to zero but can make it low enough that it wouldn't make a difference either way. Also - when I did it and spoke to them they told me before I even mentioned anything that they never process it as CA. Just a data point.
Work hard, Play harder!

Yup. More than enough data points out there for that. I'd do it anyways.

Not sure what you are asking. If you would like to find it with a Barclays credit card, there is no need to lower your CA limit. It will be charged as a purchase.

Step #1) Read the instructions.
Step #2) Ask questions.
(It's been said pretty clearly that you can only fund with CC if you open online.)

Did you try calling new accounts after the account is set up buy before funding it at all?

According to Doc, it's handled by different teams and can't be done.
