Other bank product/service Account opening, closing, or management Florida

My brother and I started a business account at Suntrust bank, because one of the bankers told us about a promotion they were offering. When we sat down with the banker and started the account. She told us all we had to do to receive the promotion money, was open the account and keep a positive balance for about seventy five days. That was to receive the - - dollars. To receive the - - dollars, she said we needed to sit down with their business consultant and purchase something from the company he worked for. That would be a total of - - dollars if we had met these requirements. All together we spoke to - employees at the bank about the promotion. They all said we would receive the money if we met these requirements. We spoke to the manager, the banker and the business consultant. So we started the business account, purchased a - from the business consultant and we kept are account open since - 2015 and still continuing now. In doing this we met the requirements that we had been informed of. Then when the time came that we were supposed to receive the promotion


the deposit to show her escalation department we had the money. At that we left the bank. We went back to the bank and asked about the promotion and one of the employees gave us a number to contact the escalation department. When i called that department they told me they would have someone call me back. They had someone call me and tell me they still had n't made a decision. Since then it took about six months waiting on someone to give us an answer about the promotion we deserved for meeting the requirements. Their answer was they would have honored another promotion for - dollars, if we would have met the requirements of making - dollars worth of deposits and that we never registered in the program. Conveniently enough for them, they left this out and did n't inform us that they we 're considering to honor the - promotion instead of the -. They did n't even know what promotion we signed up for. They never even told us we needed to enroll into a program. After this they said that was their final decision and if we called back we would just get the same answer. We would appreciate if we received the original $400.00 we we 're told we would receive. Thank u.
