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.

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.

Yup I applied using 50k TYP code but only got the default offer of 40k TYP because I wasn't targeted.

I was targeted for 30k, did the 50k offer, and received only 30k last week.

Didn't have time to call in yet.
Update: Complained via SM, Received an email that they will credit another 20k to my AAdvantage account.

Awesome! How did you get points to post so quickly? Isn't one of the requirements two months of bill pay?

Any reason to believe a 1099 is more imminent with the AA miles offer vs the TYP offer? Citi has not sent a 1099 in recent years, but there also hasn't been a high 50,000 AA offer, which could be valued at over $600.

You applied with the previous promo code and SM'd Citi about the current promo, and they gave you the difference?

Ok, so I'm a crazy nut. I was targeted for 30K, clicked on the approval tab in the email and never heard back - there was no online application as I recall.

Forgot that I'd clicked on that tab and went ahead and applied using the code from DOC's site - for 50K....full application.

Now I've been approved for both accounts since checks and welcome packages for both accounts showed up in the mail today.

I assume they'll cancel the second account?

You probably only get one bonus, but you could push for 50k. They are nice like that. Either way for now, I'd do requirements for both and see what happens
