Sovereign Bank

— Scam alert —
This bank, in line with the rest of the company, offers promotions to attract new customers and then does not honor their own offer.
I signed up for one of their promotions regarding a checking & savings account that would result in me getting a $ 75 bonus if I met the criteria. Well, I met and exceeded the criteria and never saw the money. I have gone in and sat down with associates and managers multiple times and they have sifted through my account, verifying that I met the criteria and then acted so stunned not to see a deposit for $ 75. Golly gee! The result is always the same — «we’ll forward your information and then we’ll get back to you.»
They NEVER get back with me. And on top of that, they always tell me that they have noted my account to reflect all this so it doesn’t have to be repeated. There is no note on my account, according to today’s conversation with the branch manager.
It has now been 2 ½ years, and I am still playing this stupid little game with them. And what do I see when I go to their website? Another promotion, just like the one I signed up for.
Another scam.
Bank somewhere else.
