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.

isnt it only for new customers?
That is what it says. Was wondering if anyone tried it who had gotten it before.

Will closing Gold account and applying for this type of promotion later on be considered as a new customer?

Any new info on the possibility of these not paying out due to being targeted?
I was targeted for 30k, did the 50k offer, and received only 30k last week.

Didn't have time to call in yet.

That's strange. I can only imagine what would happen if someone who was not targeted for any offers tries doing the 50 K offer, which is the situation I am in now.

Hello there, my first ever post in this forum  :)

I'm wondering what credit cards people are using to fund their new accounts? I have an assortment of cards and sorting through them to find one that doesn't post as a cash advance and will give me the most points on purchases.

Thanks!

You will most likely get the default offer of 30k

That would stink. Citi is pretty good with retention and should at least gift us compensation of some sort...

But I don't understand how this is Dif than regular offer where code works for everyone

It's been my experience that if you aren't targeted for the 50k TYP or 50k AA offer but apply using the 50k offer codes, you will get 40k TYP or 30k AA, their system defaults you to the regular offers.

There was someone earlier in the thread that applied using the 50k link and only got 30k cause he wasn't targeted.
