1) To qualify for 20,000 Advantage bonus miles, open a new regular checking account in the Citibank or Citigold account package by 10/31/10.
2) Within 60 days of account opening, make at least: 1 direct deposit, 2 electronic bill payments or 5 or more debit card purchases for 2 consecutive months.
3) To qualify for another 20,000 AAdvantage bonus miles, deposit a minimum of $25,000 by 10/31/10 in new money (funds that are not from another account at Citibank or affiliate of Citi) to a new or existing Citibank Savings Plus Account.

Seems slightly different (and less time consuming) than the previous Citibank checking offer, and has a bigger reward.

Personal Experience:
10/12/2010: Received confirmation from Citibank CSR that I fulfilled the terms of the offer with 5 debit pin based transactions in September, and 6 credit in October. He noted that the offer "does not specify whether the debit card transactions must be a signature (credit) transaction or a PIN based (debit) transaction." Credit transactions that were made near the end of September but did not post to my account until October were apparently counted as October purchases. YMMV.
