Product: Checking or savings account

I have contacted the customer service reps several times with the chat feature ( see communications below ) and several phone calls to ask when my promotional account opening bonus ( {$300.00} ) would post to my checking account. Conditions for the bonus includes over XXXX {$1000.00} in ach payroll direct deposits for XXXX consecutive months after account opening. My checking account was opened with First Tech Financial C.U. on XX/XX/year> with a {$27.00} deposit. XXXX ACH payroll deposits were sent from my sole proprietor business account with XXXX for {$1000.00} on XX/XX/year>, {$1000.00} on XX/XX/year> and # XXXX on XX/XX/year> satisfying terms of promotional bonus.
