Checking account Account opening, closing, or management Delaware

Suntrust Bank advertised a bank account opening promotion -/-/-. I opened an account under that promotion and after I thought I have completed all the requirements, I sent a secured message on -/-/- to customer service asking for a review of the Promotion Bonus and seek confirmation whether I hit all the requirements to receive the $200.00 signup bonus. On the same day, a rep replied to my email and stated that I am eligible for the Promotion Bonus and should expect to see $200.00 within 8 weeks. On -/-/-, I checked my account and sent another email to customer service for a status on the promotion bonus. A new rep responded, apologized for the response provided by the previous team mate, and her review concluded that did not qualify for the promotion bonus. - additional emails and - phone call later to appeal and request further review as I was relying on wrong info provided by the rep on -/-/-, a new bank representative called me on -/-/- to convince me there were no errors on the bank 's part based on her review and interpretation of the secured messages. She stated that because the -/-/- rep did not


response to my inquiry ) that if I meet all the listed requirements, I will receive the bonus. Now that the time window to complete the requirements are over, I am no longer eligible for any bonus no matter what. I feel wronged by Suntrust and its customer service representative. I asked a specific question on -/-/- to confirm qualification and seek guidance from Suntrust to ensure I met all the requirements and complex terms and conditions of the $200.00 account opening promotion. I trust Suntrust to review my account and provide a yes/no response and provide assistance to help me meet the qualifications if it was a no response. Instead, Suntrust interpreted the -/-/- rep 's guidance to me differently to purposely deny the promotion bonus. There was no recognition that the -/-/- failed to provide a proper answer to my question and possibly mislead that I qualified for the promotion. Suntrust has no intention to pay the promotion bonus that was advertised and took measures to prevent customers from meeting the qualifications to engage in deceptive business practices.
