Transferred more than $200 from my old checking account with another bank. Relocated about 4 weeks later and visited the local Bank of America because I couldn't access my new BOA account and hadn't received anything in the mail. Told my online account had been opened but not funded, so didn't qualify for the $100 incentive because no $200 opening deposit. CS at the BOA branch opened a new account and "closed" the online account that wasn't actually opened. Told the $200 hadn't transferred from my old bank account, so used that to open the account with the CS. Later, received checks on the online BOA account -- charged for the checks which overdrew that account because there was no money in the online account. Went to the local BOA and told the CS what happened. Fees waived. Now, BOA has turned over my old online account to collection for "overdraft" fees. Never did see the $100 incentive since the online account was supposedly never opened. BOA waived their fees because it was their error, but then turned me over to collection for overdraft fees that weren't there!!!! I am going to close my BOA account as soon as I get this mess cleared up. They're a rip-off! BEWARE -- The $100 online incentive is a scam. The collection company has no info except for the amount of the OD for being charged for ordering checks from BOA on an account that BOA said was never opened! STAY AWAY FROM BOA!!!! 401080 2010-01-21T15:37:55-08:00 TJP Is there a class action suit pending on this? I too met all the criteria stated and was told I had not.

Ray Tucker JP Morgan Chase online Banking is Great! Their $100 Bonus offer for new Direct Deposit Checking Accounts is for REAL. No hassle! They fullfilled their end of the bargain within 5 days after the fist direct depost. $28.00 was subtracted from my existing balance for the feds tax, before rewarding me the actual $100. You can sign up for daily email alerts for transactions including balances. Saving postage is very good these hard times.

I'll stick with Sovereign Bank. 401050 2009-08-04T14:23:43-07:00 Doesn't Matter 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 401030 2009-07-09T16:45:56-07:00 Rick Shrader 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 401070 2009-07-06T15:54:25-07:00 melbacracker 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.
