State: VA

Complaint narrative:
-Citibank offered an on line promotion for a {$700.00} bonus with a minimum deposit balance of {$50000.00} ( between checking and savings accounts ) maintained for sixty ( 60 ) consecutive calendar days. The offer period was XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX. 

-I opened two accounts and received confirmation from Citi XXXX XX/XX/XXXX that my accounts were opened. The {$50000.00} I transferred to fund these accounts was reflected in Citi 's XXXX monthly statement. 

-After inquiring on XX/XX/XXXX why the {$700.00} bonus was not posted I received the attached letter dated XX/XX/XXXX noting this offer was only addressed to specific individuals. I was confused as this offer was available to the general public. 

-I documented this in the attached letter to Citi dated XX/XX/XXXX. I included the names of two employees whom I communicated with via Citi 's help chat. Both individuals confirmed the {$700.00} would be posted to my account ( but provided different posting dates XXXX. To date I have not received a reply from Citi. 

-I appreciate your assistance resolving this matter.

Company: Chime Financial Inc
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I opened my initial account with Chime back in XXXX, and everything was going great until XX/XX/XXXX. I opened a Chime XXXX XXXX account where they provide members with a prepaid credit card funded by the member by moving money from the spending account. Everything was great until Chime decided to trash my credit score with XXXX  and XXXX over a disputed charge of {$79.00}. For an entire month they were blaming this all on me, but then at the beginning of XXXX they finally admitted that they made a mistake and were crediting the {$79.00} to my account. The only problem was that I had closed my account, and so I requested a paper check be sent to me in the amount of {$79.00}, and they told me that it can take up to 14 days to process. I never received my check so I reached back out to them on XX/XX/XXXX. They gave me excuses as to why they did not send me my check. Now they are saying that I have to wait another 2-3 weeks before I will get my check, but after finding an article online where they are not giving member 's their money I highly doubt I will get it.
