There is some fine print below on this offer too.
"This offer is not available at Citibank Financial Centers. To receive this offer, you must:
Open and fund a Citibank Regular Checking account in the Citibank EZ Checking pricing package at offer.com or call 1-800-374-9500 with a minimum initial deposit of $1,500 by 7/31/06.
Starting no later than the calendar month after the month in which your account is opened, pay 2 or more bills each calendar month for 3 consecutive months at citibankonline.com and receive $50.
If you qualify to receive the initial $50 and you continue to pay 2 bills a month for the next 3 months, you will receive another $50. This can continue for up to 12 months from account opening. A mamimum of $200.00 can be credited to your account. If at anytime during the 12 months you do not pay 2 bills within a month, you will no longer be eligible for any additional $50 credit(s).

To pay a bill online means that funds are debited from your account during the applicable time period. Account must be in good standing at the time of each of the $50 credits. All accounts are subject o approval. The amount of any bonus payment will be reported to the IRS as interest earned in the year credited.

It doesn't state how long you have to leave the $1,500.00 in the checking account or if this is a minimum that is always needed in the account.
Citibank is a good bank, but they did change the terms of my checking account with them in the past. I once opened a checking account with them for no fee or no minimum balance per month and free online bill payment. Then they changed that account to I must have $6,000.00 either in my checking or savings monthly or I would be charged a $12.50 fee per month. I closed the account! So far I am very pleased with my Citi Amex Dividend Card.
