- Please understand if your Balance falls into a lower Balance Tier for even one day during the Maintenance Period, your Maximum Bonus will change (see Chart above).
- If you do not maintain a minimum combined average monthly balance of $200,000 in eligible linked deposit, retirement and investment accounts, your Citigold® Account will be converted to the Citi Priority Account and your accounts will be subject to the terms and conditions then in effect for that type of account.

Does anyone know how long they wait before automatically converting the Citigold account to Citi Priority package due to insufficient funds (less than $200k)?

About 2 months but too late to qualify for the offer at lower tiers. They told me I was still expected to deposit 2 million to get a 2k bonus despite holding the 15k required for lowest tier offer. Apparently for offers under 2k you must click the link hidden in the fine print. I don’t see that link in the current offer. I tried this offer 2 years ago so maybe it’s changed since then.

I wish CitiGold offer would be clear. Do they need $1000 in debit card use within 60 days of account opening/ Or once each month of the 60 days?
AND
what about the Bill Pay..once in 60 days or each month of the 60 days.
I am still waiting for my debit card and it is past 15 days of account opening. Helloooo? Thier online chat is restricted to sometimes working and often not, so only way to get help is via phone call and each time you get a different rep!

Just so people have a success story here, I just got my $400, about 95 days into the process. What a relief!

Lucky you! It’s been a nightmare for me. Never in my life have I dealt with such an unprofessional and incompetent bank. They never completed a single one of their tasks within the promised time period: making “trial deposits” to my other bank account so I could transfer my initial deposit (10 days!), sending me my checks (6 weeks!), establishing online access (4 months, because I could not get them to send me the debit card and PIN, without which I could do nothing). Once I finally got access I was relieved to see that my initial deposit was there, but no sign of the $400 bonus. When I inquired about that, I was told that they had lost track of my “Promo Code” and I would have to provide it to them. Fortunately I had written down what I believe to be the Promo Code back when I applied, but I am still waiting. I am sorry I ever started down this path and will be surprised if I ever get the bonus.
