What a joke and a bait and switch at…
What a joke and a bait and switch at that. It’s criminal. Suntrust ( if you are not aware it is part of Truist, advertised a promo which ended on March 31st, 2021. Do a direct deposit if at least 500.00 in checking and deposit at least 10,000 in a Savings account and eventually after meeting those qualifications you will receive a 400.00 bonus. Well they rejected me after 3 days of opening up the account and receiving a welcome email from them. They rejected my 10,000 bank transfer from American Express and restricted my access to my online account and accused me of fraud. I have a FICO score of 844 and have very significant financial resources. Never had a mark on my credit rating ever and I am 68 years old. I panicked thinking someone had gotten a hold of my SS etc. so I called. I was sent to the fraud department and they told me my account is restricted and they are investigating it and will send me a letter. Not good enough so I went to the local Suntrust Bank in Waxhaw, NC and demanded an answer of WHY they refused my account. The banker was on the phone for over an hour only to tell me I will receive a generic letter in the mail. My account is closed. They don’t have the balls to tell me the trust because they know they would be subject to a law suit. Bait and switch when the think all your interested in is their bonus. Well don’t advertise it if you are not going to fulfill your obligation. It is false advertising.
