Updated code for 50,000 AA miles:  WD3QFS2Y4C  valid till 3/31/2016
Citigold 50k

50k TY or 50k AA miles for opening a CitiGold checking account.
Requirements:
  - Bill pay at least 1 non citi bill a month for 2 calendar months
  - Spend $1k on debit card (only required for the 50k aa offer the 50k ty only requires bill pay)

Has $30/month fee (waived by keeping $50K in account) starting in month 3.
Miles/points post 90 days after completing reqs.


Update: As of 2/9/2016, credit card can no longer be used as a funding source.

For AA bonus it is very important that you have either the Citi AA plat or executive card first, as the bonus offer is only offered to cardholders, and they get your AA number from those cards.
Similarly for TY points bonus requires a TY Citi credit card.

If I got the Ty points last time, and closing my account now, do you think I can get this offer?

My wife got 50k last year, no 1099.


Can you do this while you already have a Citi Gold account?

FM reports a new Citigold offer for 50K TYP. While I prefer AA miles, I am much more confident that the TYP offer won't result in a 1099. Unless there is a consensus that Citi no longer gives out 1099 for AA miles, I will do the TYP offer.

Putpac? (Citigold 1-888-248-4456)

They anyway tell you to keep record of the offer terms and code in case it wasn't added automatically.
