- The customer must have received a direct invitation from Citibank to participate in this program. Only the customer named in the invitation is eligible to participate to receive the rebates for subscriptions purchased on their Citigold Debit Card.
- The benefit is currently only for residents of NY, NJ and CT. Will roll-out to other states at a later date.
Guru’s Wrap-up
This is a great benefit but getting a CitiGold relationship is not easy. You need to maintain a combined average monthly balance of $200,000 in eligible deposits, retirement accounts, and investment balances. Definitely not worth it for deposit accounts as they have terrible rates, but could be done for investments. Works great for those who already have a GitiGold relationship. Looks like it’s available in NY, NJ and CT only for now, but should be made available in other states soon.
