Product: Checking or savings account

I have a complaint against Citibank which I feel needs investigation. 

My wife and I each opened a savings account with Citi under the promotion to get XXXX XXXX XXXX points for a deposit of $ XXXX for a period of 3 months. The two accounts were opened on XX/XX/XXXX. We are still trying to get our points. The excuses and runaround are getting tiresome. Complaints to XXXX XXXX have yielded no results. I have no idea how many other people are in this position with Citi. There were different point levels for lesser deposits. What follows are the transcripts of two messaging sessions and my summary in red of a phone call. 


Hello XXXX! Thank you for your message. My name is XXXX and Ill be happy to assist you today. Please allow me just few minutes to access and review your account. I'll be right back with you! 
XXXX at XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX : XXXX, You at XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX : Let me just check this for you XXXX. 
XXXX at XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX : I opened my account with $ XXXX for a reward of XXXX XXXX  points after 3 months. This has yet to be credited to my account. 
My wife opened an account as well and has not received her points either. 
Both accounts were opened in XXXX You at XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX : I checked your account and I see that you have met the requirements of the promotion XXXX. Congratulations! Now you are eligible for the promotion.
