I don't know how to get around having to do a direct deposit with this deal. I have read that a chase bank transfer might count as a direct deposit but I'm not positive.
If you tell me your location I could look up other options that don't require a direct deposit.
There was an awesome Santander Deal yesterday where you could get 300 dollars with a 2000 deposit in a checking account. 500 of which could be funded with a credit card. I used my citi double cash for the 2 percent savings.
I was actually about to post that deal but sadly it expired. I will surely post it if it comes back alive.
Most banks don't allow you to deposit yourself and have it count.
There are data points on reddit and doc of credit that say that a self deposit from certain banks like chase or ally count as a direct deposit. This is obviously YMMV.

1. They are the worst when it comes to honoring these deals. You would need to spend countless hours on the phone to have them honor the deal. Plus read all the small print so your $600 don't turn into $200 or nothing.
2. Citizens presence in NY and NJ is next to none. So good luck finding an ATM if you need cash. And their ATM fees are very steep.
3. Citizens bank is the worst in regards to countless fees and fines. They will nickle and dime you to death. I can't wait until Chase Bank grows their precense in MA to jump off Citizens.
4. Keep in mind, these bonuses are reported as Capital gains on your taxes. So be prepared to pay like 30% tax on this bonus.
Also keep in mind, these bonuses are reported as Capital gains on your taxes.
And finally, Citizens bank is the worst in regards to countless fees and fines. They will nickle and dime you to death. I can't wait until Chase Bank grows their precense in MA to jump off Citizens.
If you were to maintain money for 1 year in the bank they give you another 50.
Yikes. Thanks for pointing this out.
