Citi Checking Bonus – $325

Hey everyone, wanted to share an easy way to snag the current $325 Citi Checking bonus with minimal effort (takes <10 mins).

  • The Offer: $325 bonus after two $1,500 "Enhanced Direct Deposits" within 90 days of account opening.
  • The Easy Method: Citi is one of the few banks where push transfers from an external primary bank account can count as a direct deposit, or you can use the Enhanced DD workaround (Zelle, Venmo, PayPal work or you can literally Zelle yourself using two different contact methods like phone number and email).
  • Fees/Terms: No early termination fee, so you can safely close the account after the bonus posts.

Feel free to look over the details here: https://banking.citi.com/cbol/OM/checking/choice/featured-offers/default.htm?cmp=emc_acquire_2511_MGM_Checking&
