Citigold 50k

50k TY or 50k AA miles for opening a CitiGold checking account.

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 fund it with a Citi card will I be charged a Cash Advance fee?
Yes
YMMV
I funded with my AA Executive card, with CA of about $100 and everything went through smoothly, w/o any CA fees.

I tried Chase freedom, and it was processed as a CA, and the purchase got declined bec. My CA line was less then the charge.

Use Code 42ERCZ42PY to get 50K TYP for opening the citigold checking, and this offer has no need for the debit card spending.
