It seems like to get the 20,000 instead of the 10,000 you need a 'citigold' account. Isn't that where you Keep $50,000 deposited?

Yes.  Although I think that's waived for 3 months.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Back in February I was mailed a similar, though more attractive offer from Citibank - 30k miles for Citigold account, and either 20k or 25k (don't recall) for a regular (6k in the bank) checking. It expired a couple weeks later.
