Has anyone tested the once per lifetime more recently than 2017 and 2022 that I did? Wondering if I’d get away with doing it again.

Curious about this too, as I closed my last account with them 12 months ago. Did you get the bonus twice?

So looks like OOS won’t work even with the referral link?

That’s exactly correct. A referral does not automatically make you eligible to become a member. You must meet the credit union’s criteria to join.

I am a current member and can refer others. Just a reminder that you must be eligible to join the credit union based on its criteria. A referral alone does not make you eligible to become a member.

You can email me for the full contact details.

is there any referral offer? I am eligible though.

Yes, there is. That’s why I’m offering, haha. Based on my referral success rate so far, very few people are actually eligible to become members so I was trying to make that more clear.

Also looking for a referral who can share full name/phone/address as Citadel is requesting. Drop your email here if you’re willing and I’ll be in touch. TIA!

I see they added this wording: “We’re a community credit union, which means anyone who lives or spends time in Southeast Pennsylvania can join.”

Not sure i understand but what is the up with the referral when the offer is back? Is the hope to bank those extra $50 referral bonus along with the main offer? Can you combine both?

It has been stackable in the past but it looks like that is no longer the case. From the Refer a Friend t&c:

Referred Person Reward Card offer may not be combined with other new account offers.

Scroll halfway down page:
“For a limited time, you can also earn a bonus up to $400 when you open a new Ultimate Growth Checking Account using promo code FEB2540013! ”

They included the ! After the promo code I don’t know if that’s part of the promo code or just their excitement

Hello. I’d like to use someone’s referral from this group, but in order to do so, Citadel is requesting the “full name, physical address and telephone number” of the current member. If you’d like to make the referral bonus (for both of us) and don’t mind sharing that information, please drop your email address here, and I will reach out to you. Thanks!

That’s not required when you sign up with a referral link. I’m not sure where you are getting this request from unless you are trying to do it in person with a representative, however signing up with a referral link is all that is required.

I know. That’s what I would have thought, too. But then, after I went through a referral link, Citadel actually reached out to me directly by email to ask for this information. So I’m basically stuck.

Anyone can confirm your referral link still work or you are still an active member? I am going to use your referral link if you can confirm it. Thanks!

I can send you a referral if you share your email.

Just a reminder that you need to qualify for the credit union eligibility based on their requirements and not solely through someone’s referral.
