I opened a SunTrust checking on a promotion. $250.00 Half if you deposit $100.00 within 14 days of opening and the other half when you maintain deposits. I will include correspondence, but what it boils down to is I was deemed ineligible. I began to investigate and saw a discrepency on their promotion details. SunTrust clearly in print says 14 days. I have always understood banks and businesses to use " business days. '' Well I would have qualified for the promotion had it been " 14 business '' days. SunTrust said " we meant calendar days. '' Which is represented no where in their promotional document in plain public viewing eye. I kept following up and asking for clarification and I kept getting the same ineligible computer generated CSR response. I finally spoke to one CSR and I was " put on hold '' while they read the - paragraphs of the promotion detail and then " click. '' I


still SunTrust says I am ineligible. I went to - page and voiced my opinion. Still to this second, SunTrust is unwilling to admit that they have misleading advertising terminology and that it is open to interpretation and not specific. I am asking that they show me banking policies where " days '' are used in the banking world for transactions as opposed to " business days. '' Then a representative responded to my - post and said " all transactions mean days unless otherwise specified. '' Again they proved my point. Their " disclaimer '' does not appear on the actual terms of the promotion. I interpret banks as using " business '' days, not " calendar days '' when I do transactions with them. I feel they should honor the promotion and deposit the funds into my account. They are in error. Their advertising department is responsible for the open-ended, vague communication of their promotional terms. Why should I be penalized for that? In all, I have proof that my funds left my - in time to qualify also, but for whatever reason, SunTrust kept saying it was n't there until it was too late. Also let 's not forget that Monday, -/-/2016 was - and all banking institutions were closed. So my money being delayed was not my fault, it was due to banking day holiday. I want them to admit their advertising is ambiguous and prove to me that banks use loose terminology when making contracts and doing business. I just want to see it in writing. I would also be satisfied with a code of laws to search to see where banks use days as opposed to business days.
