Issue: Opening an account — Didn't receive terms that were advertised
Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
While reviewing M & T Bank website for checking account options, I observed an offer for a sign-up bonus upon meeting certain conditions. I completed signup ( XX/XX/2024 ), including using the advertised promotion code, and met all required conditions as laid out in the clearly defined terms and conditions. After weeks passing without receiving the signup bonus, I contacted M & T bank to determine why. I was told that the promotion was intended for a specific region, despite there being XXXX  mention of that during signup or on the original promotion page. M & T has since added a zip code eligibility check, but this was not present at the time of sign up ( confirmed via archived website screenshot, attached, which did not contain a zip code check, and no mention of the offer being regional ) It is clear that M & T added the zip code check after the fact, as a clear case of bait and switch ( providing a promotional offer and then later saying it is zip-code specific after the fact ). 

Requesting the bonus ( {$500.00} ) be added to account as promised by the terms and conditions.
