I refuse to do business with any bank placing a hard inquiry on my credit report for a checking account. I’ll stick with Sovereign Bank.

in january 2009, I opened an new accout with B of A since i had tried every other bank and had bad experiences. i was promissed a bonus for opening a new account and after waiting for 7 months i never got the bonus. When i visited them, i was told that they could not find that promition code to apply to whatever it is. I will close my account and DO NOT RECOMMEND anyone opening a new account with these thieves.

The account rep who was “trying to help me” as she puts it did not even know their own 1800 customer service phone number and thought that “i was insulting her” when i laughed out loud and told her “you work here and u dont even know your phone number?” Yes ladies and gentlemen, these are the kinds of people that work and make $$ in this country. The kind of people who dont know what the hell they are doing. I learned my lesson with the crooks at B/S of A and will not go back there even if they offer $10000.00 bonus for opening a new account

Did I hear that you have a $100.00 bonus for opening a checking account? What are the details and when does this offer expire? Thanks, Rick

Bank of America does suck. My husband and I got a promotional offer in the mail that if we spent so much money within a month that we would get buy 1 get 1 free airfare. We did so and waited the 6 to 8 weeks. I just called to find out how to collect the airfare and low and behold they don’t know anything about this promotion and the promotions are “deleted” from their system after they expire. They state they will honor the promotion if we still have the literature FROM APRIL, but can’t help us otherwise. BULL CRAP. I hae only had a credit card account with them for a short while and will be cancelling after I pay my bill next month.

I tried to start a free checking account online after being reassured by a chat account specialist that there is no deposit required and the minimum fee is waived too. After undergoing verification, not only was it processed under my old address (incorrect because my spouse saw me enter in the correct one–I did this carefully) but the rep. on the phone swore that you still have to pay the $5.95 fee if you don’t make a deposit. So much for the free checking. Please do not buy into their claims of free checking–you have to make a deposit or your fee is assessed…I cancelled the application right away.
It’s still lingering in my online accounts. I’ll have to call again.

I opened a checking account through Bank of America online, entered the promotion code that was mailed to me, and did everything I was supposed to do to get my $100. It has been almost 4 months, and they are refusing to honor it. I even have a printout of the confirmation with the promo code on it that I have faxed to customer service. They keep giving me the run around. DON’T USE THIS BANK!!!! Go to a local credit union. At least they will treat you like a person, not dirt.

Bank of America is a SCAM! Bank of America does not honor its own commitments. Calls to Customer Service are a waste of your good time. They treat their own customers like trash. Avoid Bank of America at all costs. They DO NOT DELIVER on their promises. They are liars, just like their greedy corporate cousins.

B of A uses largest posting first method which is largely fround upon by most everyone. If account over drafts they post the largest amount first in order to collect more in over draft fees on the all other smaller drafts coming thru. Starting in 2010 I believe this has been made illegal unless the bank lobbyist have defeated it!!! Many banks dont use this method. I asked B of A they always say “we just wanted to pay the largest amount first because usually it is a persons mortgage however all I have spoken with including myself the go ahead and pay all they just nail you with several overdraft fees, instead of paying the smaller first and larger last. They are just ripping the public off to pay for corporate jets and bonuses.

CeraJat is 100% Correctamundo! They just told me the promo code wasnt entered, they think were idiots? I know when I enter keystrokes into a field especially when it is crucial to getting free money, you triple check those kind of things. Fuk BofA
