New Citi Checking Offers, Get $300 to $1,500 Bonus
Citi is offering a bonus of up to $1,500 when you open a new checking account. There are three Citi checking offers to choose from, but the highest bonus is for the CitiGold account that requires a huge amount of money. There are lower bonuses that could make sense for most people. This promotion has been extended until July 17, 2022.

Guru’s Wrap-Up
This is the best cash bonus option we have seen from Citi. But it requires a total of $200,000 in deposits within the first 20 days. You might need to keep the money in the account for about 4 months until you get the bonus.

Don’t trust these people… I’ve been waiting 7 months for the $200 bonus. Last week I submitted a formal complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. I have screen shots of everything and they can’t raise a finger to fulfill the offer.
If everything is in order, banks will usually get back to you soon after a CFPB complaint. And will probably giver you the bonus. Hopefully it works out.
I have done Citi offers twice over the last years and I have never had any issues. Citi gave me the bonus both times.
When I click on Apply I get: “The offer is not available for you at this time, but we invite you to continue your application without a promotion or to apply for another product”.
Oh strange, maybe it is targeted. Thanks for pointing that out.
I was targeted for this offer (I received a mailer and the offer appears on the Citi website when I log in). But when I applied via the link on their website I received the same message Shirley did. I have never had a bank account with Citi before, so I have no idea why I’m not eligible.
It turns out that Citi is having technical issues with the application process on their website. I was able to complete an application by phone, which took about 30 minutes.
Would you mind giving us a follow-up of your bonus experience? Thank you!
