Funded my CitiGold acct with a BofA Cash Rewards card on 9/10 and it coded as a purchase. Since that went so swimmingly I tried to execute an additional funding using another BofA card today. No go. The credit card funding option is a one-time only option. In two years when I open another Citi account I’ll try a split funding using multiple cards at that initial funding.

Is split funding possible with this or any bank account opening?

I am struggling if I should pull the trigger because the term says “Offers for new consumer checking customers only”. I opened a CitiGold 2 years ago and closed it in 3/2014. Could anyone who had a CitiGold in the past and re-opened a new account this round confirm the 30,000 AA miles was extended to you? Many thanks!

I did see one report of someone getting the offer twice.

I actually called to ask, since I received a targeted email offer and figured it didn’t hurt to check. FWIW, the CSR I spoke to said that customers are considered “new” again once previous accounts have been closed for 2 years.

Thanks!! The CSR seemed to be referring to Close Date. That is somewhat different from the old term “If you received a bonus reward for opening a new Citibank checking account within the past two years you will not be eligible to receive this bonus”, which (I think) refers to Reward Received Date.

Either way (using close date or reward received date), I am not qualified at this point. I probably should stay put and not reset the two years clock prematurely.

Any suggestions are much appreciated!

Are you able to get the bonus more than once? Any datapoints?

Will the 30k AA miles expire 3 month after I close the citigold account? Or it goes with the expiration date with other AA miles? Thanks.

Will I run into trouble with the monthly fees if my account has $0 in it (after making 2 bill pays and $750 debit card purchase)? How do I go about paying them?

Yeah, be sure to leave money there so the account doesn’t go negative.

Please explain the strategy for funding the gold account using credi card funds. Sounds like an expensive option.

Hey Greg, when you sign up for the account they provide you an option to fund it with a credit card (via fax). Data points have shown that both Bank of America and Barclay cards can be used and there are no additional fees. Shows up on the cards as a purchase so you get points.

My experience after two weeks of working on this (AAdvantage offer):

I have residences in both NY and FL. Entering the promo code and attempting to sign up with either state on different computers got me the “unable to open account online” error. So I called… representative was very nice and I can tell wanted to help, but found that 4YQY4RMDRM was not active. She tried another, DWBXLFT7VF, but found that one inactive also.

I went back on computer and somehow got around the previous error message and continued the application process, entering the original promo code again. When account was set up, I did a live chat and was told the AAdvantage offer wasnt linked and he couldnt find anything similar in system.

I then sent a message with the code and offer details.. finally a week later I receive a response…

“our records indicate that the promotion code you provided, is currently not an active promotion available. However, the promotion noted on your account is currently for 40,000 Thank You points.”

So no luck getting AA miles, but they’re throwing in the TY point offer, which I’ll settle with… plus I was able to fund account with $13k from BoA Alaska card so got some miles out of it.

The terms says miles will post 90 days after completing requirements. Has anybody received the miles before 90 days?

I manage two CitiGold accounts, one for myself and one for my spouse. Both were opened at the same time and the requirements were completed shortly after. For one account the miles have posted 40 days (!) after the end of the month in which the requirements were completed. For the second account nothing happened so I called around day 70 and Citi asked me to wait for the 90 days to pass. On day 91 I called Citi and a very nice CSR looked into this while I was on the phone and then put in a request for the miles to get credited. I got the miles the day after that.

I also noticed that for the account which had the miles posted on day 40 there were fewer $30 monthly fee charges (one less) than for the other account.

No idea what could explain the difference.
