Minimum account opening time to allowCSR to retain sign up bonus and churning bonuses

Question No. 1

I opened my account at a branch office in October and expect the bonus miles to post in February. The associate that opened the account has been quite helpful.

For those of you that were around for the Suntrust Bank Debit Card Bonanza a few years ago, we learned a few things about how bank employees collected and retained bonuses. If I recall correctly, an account had to be open for six months for an associate to retain the bonus received for opening a new account. Many of you remember that we kept our accounts open for ~six months to allow the bonuses to be paid.

Does anyone know if Citibank has a similar bonus program?

Question No. 2

Previously, Citibank told me that my old account had to be closed for 90 days for me to open a new account and be eligible for bonuses.

Does anyone know if this still applies?
