So this past Feb I opened a bank account at Citibank for the sole purpose of getting a new account bonus. $150 after keeping a $5,000 balance for 150 days. Not bad in these days of crappy interest & with a big bank, so i figure it's easy money. The August statement comes: balance still $5000 with a few cents in interest. I figure maybe i counted the days wrong. Sept statement comes: still no bonus bucks.
So i go to the branch today (because i can't reach a person on the shitty phone system) and the bank officer guy nods his head as I tell him why I'm there. He's not surprised because he's had several people come in lately for the same thing! So he puts an 'inquiry' in and i should get a response from the bank within 9 business days.
He says its probably just a glitch. Yea - I'm sure its a glitch. Never have those glitches in favor of the little cat. I can't believe such a big bank is dicking around with the few dollars I'm owed.
