CitiGold is Citi's premium banking relationship. To remain a Citigold client, maintain a minimum combined average monthly balance of $200,000 in eligible linked deposit, retirement and investment accounts. There is no monthly service fee for accounts in The Citigold Account Package.
Be aware that Citi Wealth Management will not allow any trading of non traditional stocks and ETFs. No leveraged ETFs, no inverse ETFs. Its brokerage service is similar to Chase YouInvest. It is just basic investment service.

2. Citi has introduced Citi Priority with a minimum combined balance of $50K as of November 6, 2016. Those who were no longer qualified under the new Citigold requirement has been downgraded to Citi Priority. Discussion HERE.

I wouldn't want to go through the hassle of moving my money to Citi unless I was certain I would get a quantifiable benefit--especially if I had to change what fund I'm invested in. It seems like there are some benefits to a Citigold account--Prestige annual fee discount and an Amazon Prime/Hulu subscription paid for. Also, it would potentially be better to have a good relationship with a bank that had branches overseas in case I wanted to avail myself of additional services. However, it doesn't seem to be worth it at this time--maybe after my balances have reached $200,000+.
In theory its for NY/NJ/CT customers, although some CA accounts have recieved being able to register for it.
I have a NY opened account (which causes problems since I'm now in another state) but the offer isn't linked to my name/card and my CG 'relationship manager' has been zero help in finding any info out about this. (Instead he shows me worthless refi 'opportunities')

I know Citigold gives you $100 off the Prestige annual fee. If I don't have Prestige, will I get a discount on the Premier card annual fee? I'm quoting an ancient post, but it sounds like Citi did this in the past. Thanks.

A bunch of idiots run that bank. One would be better off with even HSBC.

Citi's international banking, even at the Citigold level, is basically better than nothing.

Does somebody know how to get the benefit for Costco? Do I need to pay for membership in store with debit card, or online?
Both me and my wife got this benefit, after signing up. We are in CA.

I take this to mean you received an Invitation. Have you Registered? Does Costco sell memberships online?

The Citigold Subscription Rebate Program (“Subscription Rebate Program”) is available to Citibank customers who are account owners of a checking account in the Citigold Account Package and have received a direct invitation from Citibank to participate (“Eligible Customers”). Only the customer named in the invitation is eligible to participate. To receive the subscription fee rebate from selected merchants, Eligible Customers must first register at citigold.citi.com/subscriptions (“Citi Subscription Website”) between January 1st and December 15th of each calendar year and select some or all of the merchants for which the Eligible Customer would like to receive subscription rebates, with a $200 annual maximum combined rebate.
The Eligible Customer must visit merchant website(s) and purchase the subscription(s), including renewals, using the same Citigold Debit Card that the Eligible Customer used to register on the Citi Subscription Website.

The Subscription Rebate Program is a complimentary benefit for Eligible Customers and there are no separate or additional fees to participate other than the subscription fee itself.

According to reader HR: The benefit is currently only for residents of NY, NJ and CT. Will roll-out to other states at a later date.

This seems to be the login for the subscription reimbursement program:
https://citigold.citi.com/subscriptions/
Unless you've received an invitation for this specific program, though, I don't think it'll work. If anybody calls and manages to be granted access after failing to log in directly, please let us know back in this thread!

There are dp's of people being able to register for the CG subscription program, even without being targeted via email.
And there are dp's of people getting the targeted email....and NOT being able to register.
My CG relationship manager (aka mortgage refi salesman) knows nothing about the program...and I have a NY account.
Typical Citi being Citi.
