Consumer complaint received 2023-07-16 00:00:00
Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Problem with rewards from credit card
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an offer from American Express Credit Card to receive XXXX membership reward points if I added an authorized user to my credit card by XX/XX/XXXX and the user spent {$2000.00} on the card within 6 months of opening. 

I added an authorized user on XX/XX/XXXX and received email confirmation of their approval on XX/XX/XXXX. Further, I confirmed I spent well over the {$2000.00} within 6 6 months to qualify for the reward. 

A month after doing so I reached out to American Express to see when my points will be rewarded and was told it could take up to 8 weeks.

After not receiving any points within 8 weeks I followed up around XXXX of XXXX and had a customer representative open a case to review. I never heard back from American Express on this so I called a customer service representative on XX/XX/XXXX, who told me the case report said I was not eligible for the offer because I added the authorized user after XX/XX/XXXX. Since I know that is not the case ( and have email prood ), I requested to open a new case and attach a copy of the email approval on XXXX as proof that I qualified for the offer. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I followed up on my new case with a representative who told me my case was reviewed and the outcome of the case was that I never had the offer on my account that I claimed to have. 

I am getting really frustrated because I keep getting different information every time I call, and feel like American Express is trying to avoid giving me the reward I deserve. 

When I call their customer service line, I am only able to have a representative open a case for me, rather than review it live. The team that reviews these requests is back-office which makes it impossible to get a clear answer. 

Please help me get the points I deserve. Thank you!

Company: BANK OZK
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have a Bank Ozk checking account. Per my understanding, Overdraft Protection is an opt in feature. During account opening, I said no to Overdraft Protection. Yet, the bank opted me in Bounce Proof and informed me by letter mail. Bounce Proof seems to be Overdraft Protection but with a different name. I visited the bank and asked a personal banker to remove the Bounce Proof feature. He suggested I keep the feature, and after a few mins, I insisted on removing the feature from my account. I believe I should not need to opt out of a feature by either calling customer service or visit a branch just because Bank Ozk signed me up for it automatically.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
At around XXXXXXXX XXXX I received a text about a XXXX transaction in the amount of {$3500.00} came out of my account. About 15 min later someone from Bank of America called me specifying that there had been fraudulent activity on my account. He was able to tell me how long Ive banked with Bank of America, that I had multiple accounts, he told me my most recent deposit into my account and the phone number he was calling from said Bank of America and matched the number on the back of my debit and credit cards. So I felt it was legit. He scammed me into transferring small amounts and a larger amount by telling me one would be declined, and then it would. He had me put in a claim number as the recipient so the XXXX manager would know it was the BofA claim. After the second transaction I just knew it wasnt right and told him I was going to hung up when he asked for more money. He said hed transfer me to a supervisor and said Thank you for doing business with XXXX XXXX. He slipped because thats not the correct bank. I called and reported it tot he bank right away. The claim number he gave me was actually a phone number : XXXX and the account it transferred to said XXXX XXXX. I assume my money went to her account as it has to transfer by phone number. After I hung up the same Bank of America number tried to call back multiple times. I did not pick up.
