PROMO CODE : XXXX Offer Ends : XXXX XXXX After opening an account, and following every step along the way to get these benefits, they were denied to me because I was 'out of area ' from the promotion. I live 12 miles away from the XXXX, VA branch. My zip is XXXX, the bank is XXXX. 

If they had no intent of honoring this offer, they should have told me originally when I signed up for the account. Not after 4 months of waiting. None of that communication happened and they allowed me to sign up, fund, and use this account for months, and only after I requested the promised bonus did they deny my request. This is a malicious and intentionally misleading marketing practice.
