Hello, I opened my Alliant CU saving account on XX/XX/XXXX. At that time, Alliant CU had a promotion. 

New Account must be funded at Account opening by one deposit of {$25.00} or more. After the initial {$25.00} is deposited, Account must remain open and in good standing. Account must have a minimum daily balance of {$1000.00} by XX/XX/XXXX and remain at that minimum balance through XX/XX/XXXX. Accounts will be reviewed after XX/XX/XXXX to determine eligibility for the {$100.00} bonus deposit. 

I have fulfilled all promotion requirement, but Alliant CU refused to credit {$100.00} to my account, and mentioned other promotion conditions I didn't meet. As matter of fact, Alliant CU did offer other promotion on XX/XX/XXXX. But I applied the above promotion and met all conditions. Please check with your marketing department and review my account and credit {$100.00} to my account. 

The link updated to different date but has the same promotion conditions. https : //promo.alliantcreditunion.org/XXXX. 

This is full promotion requirement I applied my saving account.
