even if you pay off your balance in full each month, as long as the cumulative average monthly balance from ALL of your citibank cards exceeds $6,000, you should be ok.

here's the details.
Are you sure the credit card balance does not mean Revolving Balance? The wording says Outstanding Balance but does that mean it has to be Outstanding at all time? (because once you pay in full by due day you no longer have an Outstanding Balance!)

Better to keep $6000 in the Citi saving account or CD as they count in the combined balance required.

Though I dont have high hope in getting the miles posted as promised - the checking account bonuses of any kind from Citi have had notorious history from previous offers to get the bonus posted in the promised time frame.
