Had the same thing, it takes two weeks for the check to clear and the account is frozen meanwhile. Don't deposit checks.
Fine print:
Open Citi Gold with no fees, after 2-3 months they'll downgrade you.Keep in mind banking TY points are not transferable to airlines. If you have a Prestige & premier card you can redeem @ 1.25 for flights, or cash out at 1cppAlso, check your citi online account. I see a targeted offer for 60k aadvantage miles, if you rather take that
How long did it take for your bonus to post? A full 90 days after meeting requirements?
any ideas on how to get targeted for current offer? i received in mail the 60K AA offer for opening citigold acct, but rather have TY points as harder to obtain.
how strict is Citi when counting 60 days from acct opening for bonus offers? I signed up for the Citigold 60K offer (acct opened on Nov 1) which required "1 or more qualifying bill payments for 2 consecutive months within 60 days after acct opening". However I forgot to do this in November and day 60 is Dec 31.did I miss out on this offer or can it still be salvaged?
chat with them. I think they can extend it. Always have scheduled the bill payment on the last day of the first month and first day of the next month as soon as deposit funds were in the account.
I meant to set up bill payments but forgot all about this offer. U think chatting now will help or better wait till jan 1st (day 61) when I will do my 2nd bill payment and hope for the best.
Why not chat/call now? it can't hurt.
Just got my second AA 50k offer in the last few months. $750 in debit purchases and one bill payment for 2 consecutive calendar months. It can be used for 60k Citigold account too with $1k debit purchases. The only restriction is maximum of 120k AA every 365 days. So this can be done on a rolling basis twice a year. Not too bad.
I wonder how this will affect AA account shutdowns though, that's why I haven't pulled the trigger yet.
Just got an offer in the mail to open a checking, and because I have a citi card, I will earn an extra 25% TYP until 4/2021. In addition, I'll get 40k TYP if I deposit and maintain a 10 or 15k balance. Any reason not to do this for $25 a month?
I've had such a hard time using my Bank TYP lately. The prices on Citi travel portal are always messed up and higher than Google or any other OTA. the 40k are really only good if you dont care to overpay for travel. not really worth 1.25. Also, was looking for hotel in Jerusalem and it showed me 50 results more than half in Palestinian territories. None of the good hotels.
Don't care for the 40k, and probably won't bother tying up 10k for that long for it. What I want is the 25% TYP bonus for the next year and a half.
