Citi $100 Bonus
I was checking my email the other day when this email from Citi caught my eye. 
I have a couple of Citi card that I used to take advantage of their 0% balance transfers. I haven’t touched them in a while but it looks like they are trying to get credit card holders to also open up deposit accounts(checking and savings accounts).
Now normally I don’t usually spend the time and effort to take advantage of offers like this because in the end I normally end up losing money because I don’t follow through well enough. This one intrigued me thought because $100 is a fair amount of money. On my current budget that is my cash allowance for the month.
The number of hoops to jump through is quite extensive but again $100 is still $100. Here is the preliminary on what you will need to do.
The fine details are a bit more involved:
- open an e-Savings account which means you must have or need a checking account through them
- the e-Savings account must appear on the same statement as the checking account
- must be a first time deposit account customer(savings or checking)
- must make a single application for both accounts and open both by 03/31/07
- you must fund the account with a minimum deposit of $5,000
There does not appear to be any limit on the amount of time you must keep the $5000 in the account. They only say that the $100 will be credited to your account within 90 days of having met all their requirements.
