Citibank Extends over a Million Thanks to Customers

Citibank is thanking customers – a million times over – for opening America’s most rewarding checking account and today launches its Thanks-A-Million sweepstakes (www.citi.com/thanksamillion) to give away a total of 5 million points to 16 lucky winners. Citibank offers customers enrolled in ThankYou® Network with more ways to be rewarded each month for their checking relationship. Now through November 30, new checking account holders enrolled in Citi’s innovative rewards program will be automatically entered for a chance to win up to 1 million rewards points. Plus, new and existing checking customers get an additional chance to win 1 million rewards points every time they use a qualifying debit card and sign for purchases. New checking customers who enroll in ThankYou® Network can also get 10,000 bonus points when they perform qualifying banking activities.

"With the Thanks-A-Million promotion, we wanted to not only show our customers just how rewarding banking with us could be, but we wanted them to have an opportunity of a lifetime, simply by doing all the everyday banking activities they would normally do,” said Debbie Gabor, senior vice president, Citibank North America. "This promotion is an example of how we put our customers first, and strive to deliver programs that are not only convenient and rewarding, but help enrich their lives in very exciting, perhaps even unexpected, ways.”

Citibank will reward sixteen (16) winners with a total of 5 million ThankYou Points:

• 2 Grand Prizes: 1 million points each
• 4 Second Prizes: 500,000 points each
• 10 Third Prizes: 100,000 points each

What are some of the things that the lucky winners can do with 1 million ThankYou Points? How about…

• gift cards to use for gas for their car
• flat screen TVs throughout their homes
• various romantic cruises for two
• multiple round trip flights in the continental U.S. and abroad

…and much more from the extensive collection of merchandise and experiences available from ThankYou Rewards Network (www.thankyou.com)

In addition to the 10,000 bonus points new checking customers will get during this promotion when they perform qualifying activities, they can also receive ThankYou Points every month for nearly all types of banking products and services linked to their checking account, such as direct deposit, savings, online bill payment, home equity loan and more.
