40,000 ThankYou points for opening a Citibank checking account

[lcyitz]

If someone can help me out with this. Really appreciated.

Question 1. Can I open this gold checking account and get the bonus then downgrade it to a normal non $30 monthly account?

2. What will a 1099 on the points mean for someone like me who has no income?

Thanks!

Probably nothing as you don't pay federal taxes on the first bunch of income (depending on you family status but at least $5,950)

Anybody Know if this is churnable?
Did the last promo

Offer for new checking customers only. If you have received a bonus reward for opening a new Citibank consumer checking account within the past two years you will not be eligible to receive a bonus associated with this offer

would love to hear if anyone has gotten a bonus in less time with a churn!?

Am I missing something?
I just opened a Citigold account, for 40,000 TY points (Code: WCTERY9FPS) and funded first deposit with my Barclays USAIR (soon to be Aviator) acct with my whole credit limit, and will be earning the miles plus the 50% bonus. Charge has appeared as a purchase. (Set my CA to$1. just in case.)
Did this on the phone, had issues with online. I think I have to make 2 online bill-pay.
First 2 months, no fees.
Why aren't I hearing more about this?
