I would highly advise not going with Citi for any CDs. My wife and I opened a 3 month CD earlier in the year. After 3 months they claimed to have sent the check but we never received it. They persistently gave us the runaround saying it was handled by the "back office", which nobody could contact for some reason. After speaking on the phone with them approximately 15 times over 3 months, and receiving fake tracking information 3 times we got our money with the interest quoted, only at 6 months instead of 3.

Do yourself a favor and go with another bank. During this fiasco I talked to a friend of mine who used to work for Citi and he confirmed that their "back office"situation is a mess. I don't know what that means exactly, but I know I will never deposit my money with them again and would be doing a disservice if I didn't mention something here.
I have actually had a checking account with Citi for years. And decided to close it a couple years ago. Received the check after a few days without a problem. Not sure for now but I'm wondering why they're choosing the way "send the check" via snail mail instead of transferring the fund electronically to another bank you want.

5.25 to 5.65 is a big range, I checked the website, but it doesn't give me an exact rate before I sign up? Is there a way to find out what's the "real sign up" rate is before giving them my information?

Exactly. Why not just do it electronically?

It is fixed. It's 5.25% APY <$100k, and 5.65% APY >$100k. Once a CD matures, can you not go to a Citibank physical branch and request they give you a cashier's check for the balance of the CD (vs have them mail it to you?). Or just have them deposit the proceeds into a Citibank checking or savings acct and then write a check or transfer the $ out from there?

5.65% APY is the highest rate I've been able to find w/ no real upper limit on the deposit amt.

Also, Citibank has a Lunar New Year promo that my banker told me about when I was in branch. Depending on the amt of ur deposit ($25k, $50k, $100k, etc), you can qualify for a Year of the Dragon jewelry gift. And you get a bonus necklace if you deposit the $$ in the month of Dec. I can't seem to Google it, but it's Citibank's Year of the Dragon Lunar NY 2024 promo; a banker can tell u about it.

Yes, but Treasuries I feel help fund killing people whereas CDs may not. I'd rather take a hit on a few bucks and know my dollars aren't funding someone's family getting slaughtered somewhere in the World.

Pretty sure if you buy a CD, banks turn around and buy treasuries.

Does Citi still have that ridiculous rule on unlimited inbound transfer and $25k / day outbound transfer?

Yes they do
25k per day and 50k max outbound transfer in a 30 day window

I agree that Citi has the worst customer services. I opened a savings account with them a few years ago. Even I sent all my paperwork to them in one submission, they were withholding the tax from my interest. It took me 6 months and many hours on the phone as well as multiple fax/emails/submissions to get them to stop withholding the tax.

Doesn't make sense. When my (>100K) CD reaches maturity, I have to wait 60 days to withdraw all my $ ?

BMO Alto currently has (almost) the same deal (12-month term at 5.65%). But look at what people are talking about it [depositaccounts.com].

Looks like they literally just ended that 11-month CD offer.
