If you have to spend a minimum amount of money on a card to get the bonus miles then they are considered a purchase rebate (thats why a 50K AA CC offer isn't taxable because they require you to spend on the card). I am not familiar with this offer but if there is a debit card component (like spend a minimum on the debit card linked to the bank account) that would figure to avoid the tax problem...
I would like to think you are right, but I think I saw somewhere that as long as its associated with a checking account it's considered interest income (hence 1099).

I applied for a checking account and I got denied!!!! I got a letter saying it was due to info from Experian.... no other info provided. I called up twice and the reps had no idea why it was declined and why Experian was involved as they are a credit reporting agency not check systems. Two questions guys. 1) Does a citibank checking account = hard pull ? 2) Has anyone else seen this (it also happened with a SS that I manage) ?

IMHO a 3bm has alot more value to it.
It's not about the quantity of your posts.  It's about the quality.

Why? I don't know   All I do know its YMMV with a hard pull with checking accounts.

I got a code and it didn't work.

Called up Citi and found out they made a mistake on one of the numbers.
