Citibank has a new checking account bonus in which you can earn $200. The promotional code is MVS4. You can call Citibank's toll-free number 1-866-810-9043 to open the account. A reader left a comment about it, and I called and verified it. I'm not aware if there's a promotional webpage or pamphlet. Here are the details:

Open a Citibank checking account (EZ checking does not qualify) with a minimum of $100
First $100 earned after 3 months of direct deposit OR using online bill pay for 2 bills per month
Second $100 earned after 3 more months of direct deposit OR bill pay
Bonuses will be credited to account within 120 days of meeting qualifications
Must be a new Citibank customer with no previous Citibank checking or savings account
Expires February 29, 2008
Can be opened by phone (1-866-810-9043) or at a Citibank Financial Center (be sure to reference promo code MVS4)
The monthly fee for the Citibank checking will be waived as part of this promotion as long as direct deposit or bill pay usage is maintained.
Without direct deposit or bill pay usage, the following fees will be charged: $12.50/mo fee, $0.50/check and $1.50 for non-Citibank ATM withdrawals (fees can also be waived with a $6K balance)

Some important notes regarding Citibank checking accounts:

Hard credit pull is done in the application (can temporarily ding your credit score)
Restrictive online funds transfer service in which outgoing external transfers are limited to a daily limit of $2,000 (was $5K) and a monthly limit of $10,000 (see Citi webpage)
Several readers reported having their accounts closed by Citibank for unclear reasons before receiving bonuses.
