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.

I just received 2 Citi Premier cards last night. One for me and one for the wife. I called at 10:30 this morning to fund my Savings account with it and the woman let me do it and said it will be processed in 24 hours. Then I called for my wife at 11 and was told that as of today they don't accept Debit and Credit cards as a form of funding. HUCA x 7 and everytime nada was told the same thing. I am just hoping that at least my transaction will go through. Time will tell..............
Is your wife's also a savings?

Very interesting - FT has a similar report of it working at 9:05 but not 12:15.

Quote
Opened 2 Citigold accounts online last Sunday 2/7, wife and myself. Monday 2/8 notified Citi of large purchase on 2 TY Premier MC's, also set CA to zero. Today, 2/9 at 9:05am called in to fund citigold with premier MC and CSR submitted $9k transaction. CSR could not confirm or verify if transaction was accepted.

Today, 2/9 Wife called to fund with exact same scenario at 12:15pm, CSR informed that CC funding is no longer accepted. HUCA. Next CSR confirmed that CC funding has been shut down effective immediately. Wife said that "she called at 9am to ask about CC funding process, it was allowed and I could call back when I have my CC handy". CSR apologized for conflicting info from citi reps, and that this took effect today, no exceptions can be made.

RIP citigold.

the 50k bonus typ shows that it's from the checking or does it show up as coming from the CC (besides that it can't be transferred)
