Free iPod Mini from Citibank

[sxr7171]

Is this completely not happening for those of us with existing Citibank accounts?

 

[phantaszm]

Just tried it.... seems dead now

NVM, there's a new promo code

 

[LongAce]

I got on it over 20 days ago. Still waiting on them to finalize the account so I can start paying online. It's taking forever.

 

[BigBadMunky]

I finally got my account credited last week. I'm still deciding how I want to divy up my payments, but will make them automatic for sure. That way I will never forget a payment. When I called them regarding follow up documents, I asked if they were busy with this promotion. The CSR said that that an UNDERSTATEMENT and they are swamped beyond belief. Good work AT!

 

[Helical]

Yeah, I signed up just over a month ago and still haven't been finalized. -eyeroll- This wait is seriously ridiculous, and I expect more from one of the largest banks in the world in opening up a simple checking account! Thankfully, it's not a pressing need for me... but I'm looking forward to iPod mini!

 

[czech09]

So when do you actually get the ipod right away or after the year's time? Just wondering because in a year it'll be old technology and worth a $100 tops...

 

[Evil Cheese]

link leads to dead offer, prevous post says there is a new promo code. Where do you get this code?

ok well my account is completely setup and i made my first online bill payments. and now they promote the offer on the front page of citibank so it's still going on!

 

[drinkmorejava]

lol, this is my birthday present, except my mom started the account a while ago so I'll actually get it when I should. The funny thing is, I'm jsut going to sell it on ebay and get a zen micro.

FYI: I believe you need to pay the bills online for three months, then, once you have done so, they have 90 days to ship it out to you.

 

[Passions]

Why would you want a Citibank checking acct? There are no citibank atm's or very few of them around.

 

[LongAce]

Got my two payments down the beginning of the month. They said it will take up to 90 days from the next statement priod which is the end of this month. This is taking a while. I was hoping to get it sooner then 4 to 5 months.

 

[ppaik]

sux that they dont allow existing customers to get in on this deal...

 

[KidViciou$]

i think the 90 day limit is just a technicality and just for their protection

 

[Noirish]

I'm now just waiting for them to say IPOD is on the way.

 

[thunderroller]

not much intrested

 

[LongAce]

They'll inform you when they send out the ipod?

 

[thunderroller]

one for me

you posted twice with one post by someone else in between, and you said NOTHING!
i have also seen you post worthless crap in dozens of other threads.

STOP NEFFING!!!!!

 

[bigpow]

Thanks, but no thanks.
I'll take the $200 cash offer instead (only $1,500 min. balance for a year)

 

[Noirish]

So I put in $2500 and it says only $150 is available, what does it mean?
It only got activated like last week.

 

[dfinder]

thanks it was useful to me too.

With the release of new IPOD MINIs, which one will we get?
If we have to reimburse CITI $249 for failing to meet the requirement, doesn't that mean we should get the new 6GB version which is now $249?

 

[drinkmorejava]

That'd be nice, If they don't and and the new color zen micro doesn't come out soon, I'll loose money when I trade the 4 gig in on ebay for a zen micro

 

[drinkmorejava]

So I used their nifty online chat and this is what I got


Veronica . : Hello Chris. Welcome to Citibank! How may I help you?

Chris : Hi, I'm signed up for the free ipod mini offer, but apple has recently changed their prices and the 4gb model is $199 and a new 6gb model is $249. Will I still be recieiving the 4gb model and, if so, if I do not complete the twleve months required will I have to pay $199 or $249?

Veronica . : In the terms and conditions is states "By submitting an application pursuant to the above Terms and Conditions for Promo Code CDNA you acknowledge and agree that: (i) the satisfaction of all the terms and conditions of the Offer is required in order to qualify to receive and keep the Apple iPod® mini and, (ii) if, for any reason, you fail to satisfy all requirements of the offer, you agree to reimburse Citibank in the sum of $249.95, the retail price of the iPod® mini, and (iii) you authorize Citibank to set off and deduct such sum from any account you may have with Citibank and any of its affiliates without first trying to obtain payment through any other means."

Chris : so do you believe that I will recieve the 6gb model, as that is the retail price

Veronica . : correct

Chris : ok thanks

Veronica . : Thank you for participating in Citibank Chat. Have a good day.

You are now disconnected


So yeah, I don't know if she was just clueless, or if we might actually be getting the 6gb model. I do not see anywhere where it states we will recieve the 4gb or any secific model numbers. However, under the description on the ipod mini, it still says 1000 songs

EDIT: my grammer sucks
