You mentioned above ‘ Citi Priority Account $300, $700, $1,500 Bonus
Citi is offering a promotion of a $300, $700, or $1,500 cash bonus when you open an eligible checking & savings account in The Citi Priority Account with required activities. ‘
I don’t see it requires the priority account to get the bonus. I think the basic account is also eligible. Can you clarify?
Yes, I had the same experience. They did not pay bonus. It has been 5 months now.
This looks like a scam. Is there a way to file a class action lawsuit?
SAME! Filing a complaint with CFPB right now…
citi bank $700 bonus is bogus.tried to apply says not available. yet promotion is good till 6/30/2020
I signed up for the $700 promotion for the priority package on March 31st. Be aware that this opens a Citi Savings account with standard interest of 0.10% and not the Accelerate Savings account (1.55%). It is really not that clear in the terms and conditions that the Accelerate account is not eligible for the promotion. The terms just say to you need to open a “Citi Savings Account” which is generic and seems like it would encompass all savings accounts at Citi. It is also not obvious during the account opening process that you are opening a standard Citi Savings account with the lower interest. I may have thought twice about opening an account package if I understood that at the time.
If you decide to go with this promotion you can transfer the balance from the Citi Savings to an Accelerate Savings once you meet the bonus requirements (maintain minimum balance across eligible accounts for 60 days). The other bonus programs likely work the same way in that the savings account will be a Citi Savings account and not an Accelerate Savings account. I should have known better and in the future I will take a screenshot of every screen during the application process.
Note: The difference between 1.55% and 0.10% on 50k over 60 days is about $120.
Never paid out the bonus – $500 check and savings with direct deposit. Now asking for the promo coed. This is the second time they failed to pay as promised after waiting 24 months to try again. I will be reporting their bad practice and false advertising to the governor general and bank ombudsmen.
Same thing happened to me. Not paying the bonus without the code. We clicked right from the offer. There was no code.
Applied for promotional bonus. Bad–incompetent customer service; did not send correct routing number unique to the promotional acct.
This is the 2nd time I tried to take advantage of a citibank promotional in past two years. Same problem.
