Are you considering your first card with Citi too? My first checking account was with WaMu but my first credit card was with CAP1. Lol.

$200.  When I was at Citi last week I saw an offer to open up checking with 40k thank you points for basic checking.  Made me want to open up a second checking account and linking paypal to it for my Ebay purchases.

What do you mean they give you $6? Is it a reward or cashback ?

I just opened a Citi Gold acccounts. I got 40k thank you poins. I also opened a Thank you card and got another 20k thank you points for a total of 6ok points. So $600 Dollars for opening accounts not bad! Other banks don't give you nothing! Sometimes Chase gives you$100 to open. But Citi keeps given you points on a monthly if you have direct deposit and do a bill pay. Or you can deposit from another account to your citi checking and will count as a direct deposit

I do plan to open a CC with CITI but maybe next year once(maybe by next year they will offer a better CC) I get my first cc and get its history runnin. Ive been to busy that I need to go to the branch and get it going asap.

thank you points on the debit card require 1 direct deposit per month and 1 bill pay per month.  I just upgraded my debit card last night

Ok so you need to have a monthly deposit of $1,500 in order to qualify for the points with a basic (if you want the points) right?
