Closed three accounts by phone. They just asked the reason, I gave a standard reply. Super easy.

Did not get a response to my secure message attempt.

Just received my 1099-INT for the QC & QD accounts I opened last year. Spent about 5 seconds puzzling over “What is this Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company?” before it dawned on me.

When I click to get in the coupon and put in a NYC zip, it says: “Sorry! This offer is not available in your region.” Also, this is the same message I get with any other NY or PA address.

I signed up a few weeks ago with promo code QC and the rep I talked to at the bank said I needed to apply in branch for it to work. I’m going to call and see what can be done but as of now it doesn’t seem like I’m getting this bonus even though I’ve already completed all of the requirements.

ok, stupid question – if i have credit freezes on the three major bureaus (equifax, transunion, and experian) would that explain the declines i’ve gotten from M&T (just now) and BoA (earlier this week)?

i’ve only opened one other account (with Wells Fargo, two weeks ago, in branch) and there were no problems with that one.

I thought they use only ChexSystems. Why they need credit pull for checking account?!

I thawed my credit freeze on my experian credit account, waited 30 minutes, and reapplied at m&t. accepted right away.

so i think me not having *any* ability to verify personal information was a problem.

who knows.

did all the things.
pushed $100 from PNC.
it coded as a P2P 5 days ago.
no bonus.

most folks seem to get theirs within a day or two.

any suggestions? PNC was working as late as august; i saw DPs on it above.

so, to make that a DP:

11/17 – opened M&T account
11/29 – PNC push for $100 – coded as P2P on statement

no bonus.

that’s a no-go for PNC push.

Guys…. It’s over. Let it go. Time to move on from M&T. You have a tons of M&T DPs over the last 2 months confirming this.

Chase ACH posted on 10/18 as “JPMORGAN CHASE EXT TRNSFR”. As of 10/20, still no bonus posted. Anyone think they might have caught on people using ACH from other banks as a way to fake DDs?

I have 3 theories! 4 different ACHs didn’t work for first and only account with M&T (my friend’s account)! Either they set time – after 30-90 days bonus will be posted. Either they killed ACH. Either they killed all bonuses and people have to call to manually attached it – so they can verify if you have real DD. My friend will try real DD then we are able to tell what’s going on.

Hmm interesting. I was hoping to avoid having to do a real DD since its annoying to have to change it with my work. I guess I’ll give them a call and see if the bonus is attached to the account and if it is I’ll wait it out and see if it posts.

what did they say? they told my friend “My research shows this was a special promotion and unfortunately your name was not included in this particular offer. We regret the misunderstanding.” They generated coupon with her name, email and zipcode 3 weeks ago, and now telling that she cannot get the bonus….. will escalate.
