I fulfilled the requirements with employer DD and today I am told by the phone rep that the QI promotional code is not valid for the region in which my account was opened (Virginia).

I only received two other M&T bonuses before QI, and all three accounts are active currently. How should I move forward?

For those of you who have closed your account with M&T, did you immediately completely lose all access online? I previously opened 2 accounts. Closed one of them via secure message about a week ago. Then a couple days ago I sent a SM to request to close my last account. I didn’t see a response back, but now when I try to login I get an error saying my User ID and Passcode do not match. Has this happened to anyone else? Does this mean they closed my account and completely shut down my access? Or do I need to call to make sure that my account did in fact get closed?

Update: I have now been able to login, so it must have been a system issue before. However, I wanted to note that this was my last remaining M&T account and I was able to close it with no issue. I did not have to mail in a form and pay a fee as some previous users have been reporting. I waited 6+ months since I previously opened the account. Reduced my account to $0 via ACH pull from another bank. Sent a SM to request to close my account. Received the following response back and my account was closed without issue.

Thank you for your account closure request.

As per your request, I closed your M&T Checking account ending in XXXX [edited by me to remove account info].

If you have any additional questions, please email me or contact the M&T Telephone Banking Center at 1-800-724-2440. Representatives are available Monday through Friday 6am to 9pm, Saturday and Sunday 9am to 5pm, ET.

Thank you for banking with M&T.

bill.com free service?
How does it code? description as bill pay or p2p?
Did you use bill.com for other banks’ bonus promo as DD, does it usually work for you?
Thanks

Previously, back in July, I did a chase checking ACH. It was registered as a “ext transfer”. Bonus was paid a few days later.

Opened another QI account for the bonus (had one previously). Tried a Discover Direct deposit, did not work. In fact, the transaction reads “Discover p2p transfer”. Gonna try my hand with Robinhood ACH but I think its safe to say that Discover will not work as Direct Deposit regardless.

In the fine print: “Only one bonus will be rewarded regardless of the number of accounts, titling on account and the number of direct deposit arrangements established”

I guess this means if you open more than one account around the same time?. Doesn’t say existing accounts?

First time making an M&T account and tried to take advantage of this promo. Funded initial $100 from Santander and did a push from Santander as well on 11/20/2017. Bonus didn’t post. Waited until today and finally SM’d to ask if my account had correctly applied the promo code and the banker said

“Thank you for your Direct Deposit Cash Bonus inquiry.

My research shows this was a special promotion and unfortunately your name was not included in this particular offer. We regret the misunderstanding.

Please be assured M&T Bank continually offers cash bonus promotions in an effort to allow all customers, new and existing, an opportunity to learn more about our various products and services. These promotions can be offered via mail, online, newspapers, radio and in the branch.”

So no bonus for me I guess :'( I live in NYC if that helps anyone. Not sure if its worth going for the other bonus’ from M&T or if I just did something wrong

FYI, my brother received the mailer but he didn’t want to apply. We have an M&T bank .2 miles away from where we live so I tried to use the code and saw it on DoC. I wonder if its specifically targeted for certain people in certain zip codes? And maybe anyone in other zip codes?

Check your zip code here https://bank.mtb.com/150bonuscoupon it seems they hard coded zip codes by now…. so pretty much some targeted zip codes and targeted people will get bonus….

Had a QI bonus from earlier this year and received the bonus.

Opened online in Los Angeles.

Trying my hand at it again. Hopefully QI is still handing them out. Just opened a new account again succesfully!

How did you answer “Do you currently have an account with M&T?” on the latest application?

Alex

I always answer that no. But the account gets linked to the profile anyway. Currently have 3 accounts with M&T.
