The qualifications were all met on XXXX ... and several BoA customer service reps. confirmed same. So, the bonus should have been deposited by XXXX. As of XXXX, it still has not been done. 

Called on XXXX an spoke to rep. She confirmed that all qualifications were met on XXXX. 

Called on XXXX, spoke to XXXX. He also confirmed that all qualifications were met on XXXX. This was after first rep. spoke to said that qualification wasn't met?! He said he sees this often, that the bonus is deposited after the 60 days and assured me it is likely it would be deposited the first week in XXXX. He filed a 'complaint. ' I trusted him but it was not ... 

Nothing came of last call so I called on XX/XX/XXXX and was on phone for > 2 hours and spoke to about 4 people of increasing authority, ending with XXXX. Escalations were filed, XXXX said he would call me back ... XXXX said all looks fine and bonus is in line, one rep. said they still have more time to pay the bonus, etc. It was all over the place.
