According to this MSN Money article and a few members of Fatwallet, you can get 40000 bonus thank you points by depositing $25K into your Checking or MMA account. You can pick up the flier promotion by visiting a local Citibank branch. Here’s the fine print:
You’re on your way
To take off with a round-trip ticket, courtesy of Citibank -
1. Deposit $25,000 into your Citibank Money Market Plus Account.
2. Make sure your checking account is enrolled in the ThankYou Network.
3. Complete 1 direct deposit to, or make 2 electronic bill payments from your checking account each month for 3 consecutive months.
4. You’ll get 40,000 ThankYou Points redeemable for 2 round-trip tickets valued at up to $400 to anywhere in the continental U.S.
5. Start packing
If you never had a Citi Checking account, then you qualify for $200 bonus with offer code MVS4. You can confirm the $200 offer by calling 1-866-810-9043. The Promo Code expires February 29, 2008
If the above number doesn’t work, try calling 1-800-374-9500 to speak with a CSR . You want to speak to a CSR from the USA and not offshore one to verify the promotion code. You will be transferred to a “personal banker” who will process the application. To avoid a hard credit inquiry, don’t accept overdraft protection, a line of credit, or any other product that would likely result in a hard credit inquiry.
How does this work?

20,000 points offer is CE2J promotion code. CSR tells me the promotion is based on amount DEPOSITED, NOT on BALANCE. Therefore, the same $5,000 could be redeposited five times to qualify.
