The Fine Print
The offer is only available to new Citizens customers who have not had a personal Citizens account for 6 months or more. In order to take advantage of the offer, new customers must sign up for their account between October 1st and November 13th of 2009, and complete the requirements above by December 31st, 2009.
The checking account must also remain open for at least 6 months, or the bonuses will be deducted, so don’t apply if you’re just going to close it after you get the cash!
