Credit Card Programs - Initial Funding of Citi Checking with Credit CardView Full Version : Initial Funding of Citi Checking with Credit Card ja_user Aug 12, 07, 10:17 am I know the information is hear but an unable to search for the proper terms to locate it. What exactly is the process for initially funding a citi checking account with a credit card? Is a call required, or can you do everything but fund online and then call, etc? lifeonitsown Aug 12, 07, 10:10 pm I know the information is hear but an unable to search for the proper terms to locate it. What exactly is the process for initially funding a citi checking account with a credit card? Is a call required, or can you do everything but fund online and then call, etc? I believe if you open account online, you have to fax or mail in a form with your credit card information. Yes you can do everything online. Offline is different, you can pay at branch. legitimate user Aug 12, 07, 10:29 pm IIRC there is a screen that asks you how you'd like to fund. You have to select 'other options' and 'Fund by credit/debit card' will be one of them. You'll then have to print out and mail or fax a form with your card information. This works the same for their savings accounts, too. travelwave Aug 13, 07, 6:57 am Would this earn miles? ja_user Aug 13, 07, 7:57 am Would this earn miles? :) travelwave Aug 13, 07, 8:16 am So would it/does it?? abouna Aug 13, 07, 8:28 am It says on the form you fax to check with your cc company because it could be treated as a cash advance or a purchase. Sounds risky. uknowbeers Aug 13, 07, 1:13 pm This has been discussed in detail on FatWallet: http://www.fatwallet.com/t/52/669313/ I used a United MP card for funding; it was treated as a purchase, so I got almost 10k miles. I would have done more if I had a higher CL! lifeonitsown Aug 13, 07, 9:16 pm This has been discussed in detail on FatWallet: http://www.fatwallet.com/t/52/669313/ I used a United MP card for funding; it was treated as a purchase, so I got almost 10k miles.

Any chance they accept Amex 40k is not the max ;). ja_user Aug 14, 07, 7:47 am One more question. Currently there is a 10k sign up bonus for paying $25 and getting the AA debit card. The Terms say "Bonus once per account". I assume that this means per checking account, and not per FF account? Can anyone verifiy? Even without the 10K CC loads, this would be a good way to pick up 10k for $25. lifeonitsown Aug 14, 07, 3:11 pm 40k is not the max ;). What is the max? Can you split on multiple cards? Do they accept Amex? |
