$100 Checking Account Bonus at Bank of America - Update 2
Dec 14, 2009 - 6:21 PM by Ken Tumin
Bank of America has long offered a USPS movers checking account bonus. There's a new one, and the bonus is now $100 (up from $75). It does require a little work. Here's the link to the promotional page. The promo code is AOU260909. The new expiration date is 11/30/09. It's available through the online application or in any BofA branch. Here are the basic requirements as listed in the promo page:
- This offer is available only to new customers who open a qualifying personal checking account with a minimum balance of $500
- The new checking account must be open for at least 30 days
- You must make a minimum of one transaction with the newly assigned check card
- They'll deposit the $100 incentive directly into your new checking account within 90 days of its opening
- The new customer is not eligible for this offer if they were a signer on a Bank of America checking account that was closed within the last three months.
- Offer does not apply to current checking customers or student checking accounts
- Bank of America will report the value of the offer to the IRS
Hard Pull? Customer Service? Fees?
I discussed all of these issues in this June post when this promo was only a $75 bonus.

I am majorly bummed becuase I received a letter from B of A letting me know that I would not be receiving the $100 bonus since I hadn't done an DEBIT CARD TRANSACTION within the first 30 days of opening the account. When I singed up for the account, it mentioned a "transaction" and I thought using the ATM with the check card would qualify. I had no idea it had to be a purchase transaction. I have made my case to customer service, and still have not received the bonus.

I signed up in Oct. Its been longer than 90 days and I have fufilled all the requirements, the 100$ bonus should have been added to my account by now, but it has not. When I called them they said they would do an investigation and get back to me in 72 hours, its been a week since then and nothing . . .
