Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
I went to the Bank of America branch today to speak with the manager regarding the extended hold on my cashiers check that I deposited on XX/XX/XXXX. I explained that the check was issued by XXXX XXXX, which confirmed the funds were guaranteed.

Despite that, the branch manager stated that there was nothing they could do to manually verify or release the funds before the hold date. She said the system placed an automatic hold and that the funds would not be available until Monday, XX/XX/XXXX. 

I asked whether the bank could conduct a manual verification to confirm the legitimacy of the cashiers check and speed up the release, but she declined and repeated that the hold could not be overridden. The only explanation given was that the banks policy prevents early release, even if the issuing bank confirms the funds are guaranteed. The letter from the bank says the funds may not be collectible. But its a guaranteed cashiers check from the bank.

The original date of release was on XX/XX/XXXX and I deposited in person with a teller on XX/XX/XXXX and now theyre saying its XX/XX/XXXX the funds wont be made available until then. I asked for manual verification and gave them the info from XXXX bank for them to verify and they said nothing they could do.

Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am filing a formal complaint regarding American Express and the handling of a promotional bonus offer tied to my Platinum Card application.

I received a mailed offer from American Express for a XXXXpoint sign-up bonus upon spending {$20000.00} within the first 90 days. I applied for the card based on this offer and was approved. I carefully tracked my spending to ensure I met the stated requirements. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I called American Express customer service to verify my progress toward the spending threshold. The representative informed me that I needed to spend an additional {$5000.00} before XX/XX/XXXX, which I promptly did. To reach this goal, I went out of my way to use my American Express card, even incurring transaction and processing fees to ensure compliance with the offers terms. 

However, when I called back on XX/XX/XXXX, to confirm that I had met the spending requirement, the representative I spoke with informed meabruptly and without explanationthat I did not qualify for the bonus. When I asked for clarification or to speak with a supervisor, the representative refused and hung up on me.

I have been an American Express member since XXXX and have always had positive experiences until now. This recent experience was both unprofessional and misleading. It appears to be a bait-and-switch situation, where American Express enticed me to apply, pay a {$700.00} annual fee, and spend over {$20000.00} ( plus associated fees ), only to deny the promised bonus after the fact.

I am submitting this complaint so that it is formally documented for legal and regulatory purposes. I am requesting that the CFPB review this matter and ensure that American Express honors its advertised and communicated promotional terms.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
