Even if I have a thank you credit card?

Yes, the points earned from a citi checking account cannot be transferred to a thank you credit card for purposes of keeping the points active.  The accounts can be merged, but if you close a checking account, you have 60 days to redeem the points earned  or lose them.

So many members here seem to express interest in this offer, yet there is no talk of how they dealt with the IRS-1099 from Citi.

Has anyone here received the points, and still benefited from them despite the 1099?

Is there a way to write get off taxes on this?

Would this work on a closed account too?

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?

i received the 50k offer for opening checking account, one condition was to keep cc open. i originally had citi premier, however downgraded to the rewards plus before the bonus posted.   bh the bonus still posted. it also means i now get a extra 10% since i have the rewards plus card. i see it lets me to transfer to jetblue even though i dont have premier [and choise points which are great for walmart gc]. [the sears ty points only allow to choice not to jetblue].
