In XXXX 2015, I opened a bank of america checking and savings account after finding a promotion online that offered {$500.00} for customers a ) opening a checking account and savings account with the bank b ) generating deposits of {$20000.00} and c ) setting up direct deposit within the first 2 months. The promotion promised a {$500.00} credit to be received to the checking account within the first 90 days. 

After opening the account, I called within the first 30 days and was told the credit would be received shortly. After 60 days, I was again assured that the credit would be received, but within 90 days. After 90 days, when I called I was finally told that I was not a targeted customer and would not be receiving this credit, however the complaint would be escalated. After the complaint was escalated, I was told I would hear back from Bank of America. After not hearing back, I called again and was told they would re-escalate the complaint, but promised I would hear back within 2 weeks, but could expect a response in 2 business days. Another 3 weeks went past and I did not hear back from Bank of America. I called them today XXXX/XXXX/2015 and was told that the escalated complaint had been rejected but was not provided with a rationale for why I was not contacted. 

Not only did the bank refuse to honor their promotion, they were deceitful twice to me when I waited the promised credit. During the first 90 day wait period, I was assured twice that I would be receiving the credit. It was not until the 90-day lapse period ended that I was informed I would not be receiving the promised credit. After the re-escalation process, I was promised to be contacted with the results, I was not and I was given no explanation for why I was never contacted - it appeared they were hoping I would simply forget about the issue. Their rationale for not honoring the credit was that I was not a targeted customer, which I do not recall from the promotion ( I read all fine print ). I have attached a sample of the promotion I found online, ( this includes the details of the promotion I used, I am not 100 % sure this is the direct link I applied for my account though ), there is no mention of a targeted customer. Keep in mind that the promotion was visible to any person by a simple internet search - so by definition, every person that ran a search was targeted. Again, this rationale was also not provided to me until 90 days after I had set up an account with above the minimum required {$20000.00} and also set up my direct deposit service. I am in disbelief and anger that an institution could be so blatantly deceitful in their banking processes.
