Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I opened up the PNC Virtual Wallet checking account in a physical branch in XXXX, NJ on XX/XX/XXXX. At that time, I found a promotion online that PNC runs regularly, in summary, open a new Virtual Wallet account, direct deposit at least {$5000.00} into the spend account within 60 days, and receive {$400.00} as a reward. The promotion terms stated that this account could be open online or in participating branches. 
When I was opening the account at the branch, the representation confirmed that yes, they have that promotion going on, and confirmed with her back office and manager that the promotion will be associated with my account. 
I completed the requirements associated with this promotion via a {$5000.00} direct deposit into my Spend account. This was confirmed on the official statement from PNC Bank as a DIRECT DEPOSIT noted on the statement for XX/XX/XXXX ( attached ). 
I have brought up this issue with PNC Bank via phone called on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. They said they will look into it, but generally not been helpful. The terms state that the reward will be paid within 90 days of completion, but it has been close to 150 days.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I went into the Regions Bank located at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Alabama XXXX to make a deposit. The deposit was a State of Alabama check that was issued for a refund of my retirement contributions to XXXX XXXX XXXX of Alabama. Upon making the deposit I asked the Branch Manager if there was a hold on the deposit. She stated she did not see one at the time, but a hold may be placed when it went through overnight processing. As such I left the bank without any definite information regarding a hold. On XX/XX/XXXX I received an email about a 7-day hold being placed in my account, but the email did not define the reason for the hold. I was under the impression the Reg CC requires funds from federal, state, or local governments to be made available next business day. Is this not the case? According to Regions, this is not so and a seven day hold can still be imposed on such checks.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I reported to my doctors office ( XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX ) for my annual wellness exam. During my exam the doctor and I discussed my medical concerns as anyone would during their wellness check. Fast forward, a couple of weeks later, I received a bill for an office visit ( {$25.00} co-pay ). Also on the bill was the wellness visit. I called the doctors billing office and told them that this visit was exclusively a wellness visit and it is completely covered under my insurance plan. After several more conversations, including XXXX with the office manager, the medical organization would not report my visit to my insurance provider as a wellness visit only. So in essence, my insurance provider was charged for XXXX visits at once. Blood work was ordered for me at the time of the visit and that work also should have been completely covered under the wellness insurance guidelines. It was not since the office visit bill took precedent, so now Im out the {$25.00} co-pay for that service.
