Data Point: Opened my account and credit card on 10/30/2015 and met the spend requirements within the 1st 30 days or so. My Bonus just posted today 3/16.

PHEW! For a long time i thought I may have messed up and not met the requirements. I called my small business banker who said I met the requirements and she sent a note to ?corporate/the small business office. I also had the same problem of being charged the fees despite spending 2500 on my biz card, had to call in to get it waived and my card properly linked to my checking account. Asked about when the bonus will post about 2 weeks ago and was told it was scheduled for 3/11. I was going to give them an additional week after that but to my pleasant surprise it posted today!

@Eddy, I had the exact same experience you did. I opened the card on 10/30 and got charged a few monthly fees. Called in and was told that the Biz CC was not linked to my Biz checking account correctly, therefore the monthly fees were not being triggered (rep issued a credit for all monthly fees). I was told that the bonus was going to post on 3/11 but didn’t post until 3/16.

@Doc, what do we do now? Do we downgrade to a no/lower monthly fee account or should we close the account right away?

My plan is to keep the current biz checking account right now, spend $2500 on my biz CC, then downgrade the biz checking account. Then probably close it within 1-2 months.

I did not get my bonus automatically. I suspect it was because my credit card did not get linked to my bank account for some reason. Initially I was charged account maintenance fees even though I was making $2500 in purchases on my Alaska business credit card but after I called in they linked the two, reimbursed me and fixed it moving forward. Also did not receive the $1000 so had to call in for that. They opened a case to investigate and I got a check in the mail about five weeks later (this past week after opening an account in September).

Gaurav, I’m sorry to hear that. When did you open your account initially? Were you getting charged the account maintenance fees even during the first 3 months (when they’re suppose to be waived)?

Apparently, my cards weren’t linked for the $2500 spend fee-waive either and I have yet to receive the bonus (opened in Oct). I called and they were fairly clueless about the promotion =/

I opened the account in September. There were no bank account charges for the first three months as advertised. The charges that were applied were removed after the cc and bank account were linked and not a problem after that. The reps were clueless about the promo as well but I read them the language over the phone, gave them the promo code etc and they opened a case for me and I received a check in the mail.

Ok sounds like we might be in a similar situation because my cc and bank account weren’t linked initially either. I’ll give them a call again tomorrow. Thanks for all your help!

Did most of you receive the bonus right after your statement posted, or just randomly?

The BoA small biz rep who opened my account disclosed at the outset that it would take 5 months.

That means about $100 in fees, since the first months’ are waived. $1000 bonus. Ok with me.

Has anybody who opened their account in October received the $1000 bonus yet?

I opened my account and CC on Oct 30th and hit the spend requirements by November 24th, 2015 and have yet to receive it.

Any thoughts and advice are appreciated!

rec’d bonus, 1K on 12/19!! Yeah. Still using the bus cc with no fee and 1.5% back. Hardly use the business checking except to deposit MO and BP. Will keep both accts for a while as BOA actually came through. By purchasing 5 OVanilla cards/monthly I meet the 2500 spend to keep the acct fee free and cash outt the points for Shell gift cards. And if you save your points to a certain amt, you can get the best deal.. a 250.00 Shell card for less points. The card fees basically make this a wash but I come out ahead about 15.00 per 100.00 Shell card.
