Citi® Accelerate High-Yield Savings Leveled Bonus Offer

Important Terms and Conditions:

Your Citi® Accelerate Savings account will be opened in the Access Account Package. To waive the $4.50 monthly service fee for a Citi® Accelerate Savings account in the Access Account Package not linked to a checkless Regular Checking Account, maintain an average monthly balance of $500 or more.

Offer

You can earn a Bonus of $150 or $450 by opening a new Citi Accelerate High-Yield Savings Account in the Access Account Package, funding it with a minimum of $20,000 in New-to-Citibank Funds within 20 days, and maintaining that balance for another 60 days. You must also have a Citi credit card from the time you open your account until you receive the Bonus.

Qualify

You are eligible for the Citi Accelerate High-Yield Savings Account Leveled Bonus Offer (“Citi Accelerate Savings Leveled Bonus Offer” or “Offer”) if you are at least 18 years old, are a primary Citi credit cardmember, and have received a communication from Citibank inviting you to participate.

To be eligible for the bonus, U.S. persons must furnish or have a valid IRS Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification) on file with Citibank, N.A. and you must not be subject to backup withholding.

Certain “Savings Accounts” are eligible for the Citi Accelerate Savings Leveled Bonus Offer. Any Citi Accelerate Savings Account opened during the Offer Period that you continue to own until the end of the Maintenance Period in the Access Account Package can qualify for the Citi Accelerate Savings Leveled Bonus Offer.

  • The Citi® Savings Account product does not qualify for this offer.
  • Savings Accounts that are living trust accounts and custodial accounts are eligible, but fiduciary, estate, business, retirement (IRAs, SEPs, CESAs, money purchase pension plans and profit sharing plans), and other trust accounts will not qualify for this offer.
  • International Personal Bank customers are not eligible for this offer.
  • Authorized Users of credit card accounts are not eligible for this offer.

Here are the required activities to qualify:

  • First, enroll in the Citi Accelerate Savings Leveled Bonus Offer between July 18, 2022 and October 22, 2022 (“Offer Period”), pursuant to the instructions provided. You can enroll online by clicking “enroll now” and following the instructions for online account opening or by contacting a Citibank representative by phone and asking the representative to enroll you in the Citi Accelerate Savings Leveled Bonus Offer.
  • Second, open a new Citi Accelerate Savings Account as an owner in the Access Account Package during the Offer Period. Please see the email or digital website communication you received for directions on opening and funding your account.
  • Third, on the 20th Day after you open your account, we will check your “On Deposit” balance in New-to-Citibank Funds which will determine the bonus you can try to earn (“Balance”). As long as you maintain at least a $20,000 Balance every day for 60 calendar days after your 20th Day (“Maintenance Period”) you will remain eligible for a Bonus, but please understand if your Balance falls into a lower Balance Level for even one day during the Maintenance Period, your Bonus will change (see Chart). If you open your new Savings Account over the phone and opt to receive the Terms and Conditions via regular mail, we will look at the 30th Calendar Day to determine your Maximum Bonus.
    • For example, if your Balance on the 20th Day is $50,000, the Maximum Bonus you can try to earn is $450. If your Balance is $49,000 on day 45, however, the Maximum Bonus you can earn changes to $150.
    • New-to-Citibank Funds” are funds deposited from accounts external to Citibank, N.A. and deposited: 1) using “Enhanced Direct Deposit”, or 2) with checks, or 3) through wire transfers
      • Cash deposits, Citi Global Transfers, Citi debit cards, transfers between Citibank accounts, do not qualify as New-to-Citibank Funds.
      • An Enhanced Direct Deposit is an electronic deposit through the Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) Network of payroll, pension, social security, government benefits and other payments to your checking, savings, or MMA account. An Enhanced Direct Deposit also includes all deposits via Zelle and other P2P payments when made via ACH using providers such as Venmo or PayPal.
    • So long as the deposit does not pre-date the opening of the Savings Account, New-to-Citibank Funds can be deposited into a checking account in the same package as the Savings Account and transferred to the Savings Account before the 20th Day.
    • “20th Day” means the 20th calendar day after you open your new Citi Accelerate Savings Account, but don’t worry if your 20th Day falls on a weekend or U.S. National holiday. If that happens, we will count the next Business Day as your 20th Day instead. Same rules apply for the “30th Day”.
