I 've never been told that the bonus is calculated according to the statement period instead of calendar month, and the Santander rep who opened my account told me that every month I pay XXXX bill online and receive more than XXXX direct deposit, then I 'll get XXXX dollars bonus each month. And their public advertisement also indicated that it 's per month instead of per statement cycle. So, I paid XXXX bills online and have my employer direct deposit my salary to my Santander account. In XXXX 2015, I only received XXXX bonus for direct deposit and called Santander for the missing XXXX bonus for the online payment, they then told me that it should be counted by statement period, as I paid XXXX payments in XXXX, XXXX payment on XXXX, XXXX payment on XXXX, they wo n't pay for the XXXX bonus in my XXXX statement. The information I got was very misleading and it 's not right for them to forfeit my XXXX XXXX bonus for bill payment.
