We need all the help we can get during these difficult economic times, and the latest offering from Citibank for those who currently own an AT&T Universal Credit Card delivers just that, as they’re giving away a $100 checking account bonus for those who open up a new checking account with them.

Now if you already have a checking account with Citibank and also use an AT&T Universal Credit Card, unfortunately you won’t qualify for the $100 bonus.

Among what are called the ‘qualifying activities’ to receive the $100 bonus, is to make a minimum deposit in the checking account, after you open it, of $1,000 by January 31, 2010. That’s not the only qualification, but it will be the major one for most of those looking to participate in the program and receive the bonus from Citibank.

Other activities you must participate in to receive the bonus would be to make a minimum of five signature debit card purchases for three straight months, or one direct deposit for three consecutive months, or make two electronic bill payments for three months in a row.

Understand that you don’t need to do each of the above, but you do have to perform one to qualify, along with the $1,000 deposit required by the end of January.

This offer is made to AT&T Universal Credit Card, and so you’ll receive the offer via your AT&T Universal Card statement. That’s the best place to look for it, although you can call the company or visit a nearby Citibank branch to sign up for it.

Remember that this deal ends by January 31, and if you’re interested in making an extra $100 over a relatively short period of time, this is a good chance to do it.
