I have been targeted for this, but what do they mean by previously in this?

New money” is money not currently or previously held in any account in your name at Bank of America, Merrill Lynch or Merrill Edge

I click on the link and I see the offer, does that mean I’m targeted or is the eligibility determined later on? Also, any one know the early termination fee and the number of days the account needs to be open? TIA!

Was targeted once I log onto my checking account. I went to branch to open as when I tried to open online, it forced me to open a checking too which I already have. banker at branch showed me on screen what I offers I had (including cc for $100 bonus). So this does look to be targeted etc. Even though after I opened the savings, no documents said I was part of this promo. There’s also no promo code. But I do have pdf of the online offer saved.

So what you’re saying is that Bank of America enforces the targeted requirement?

If you already have a checking account and you also targeted for this offer, if I open the savings/money market account, will BOA do a chex inquiry?

For non-checking account customers, we would have to also deposit another $1,500 into the checking account. Still a good deal?

So add some additional information to this offer. I was targeted for tis offer several months ago but my offer was for existing customers and allowed me to add money to my existing savings account or open a new account. However, my offer did not show up online. I only found out about the offer because the banker I deal with at Bank of America was assisting me with something else and I asked her if there were any other offers on my accounts and this was offered. As such, I would recommend you go into your local Bank of America or call them to see if you are targeted for this offer since not everyone will see it online. Ironically enough, they also never mailed me anything about the offer so if I didn’t ask my banker I wouldn’t have known about it which seems less than intelligent on Bank of America’s part if they were interested in me taking advantage of the offer.

I never get targeted for their checking/savings account despite having a substantial amount in a ML account. I’d like get Platinum Honors but I want a checking sign up bonus!

Don’t feel too bad. I also have a large ML 401k. The one time I did respond to a BoA checking account offer for $100, they inexplicably closed the account about a week later.

Some of us apparently aren’t good enough for BoA.

Not bad about 6% annualized return for 90 days on 10k.

Technically 9% return if you deposit the $10k the day before the 60 period. Even better. I’ve scheduled my deposit for 28 days from now.

What do banks hope to achieve by these promotions? Marketing information?

Obviously no one will keep that much money at 0.01% after 90 days. They will cut and run. Banks must know this too.
