^do you mean your application was approved?

big diference b/w accepted and approved.


Mine was accepted (not approved instantly), and they told me they would get back to me within 2 days. I will fund it at that time.

I was told that today. Yesterday I applied under THZ1, and the rep(RANDY) told me THZ1 is for new customer, but THZ3 for existing ones.
sigh...

I specifically asked my CSR if thz3 was valid for a new customer.

he told me yes, there would be no problem.

Something is seriously flawed with our current financial system when a hard pull is done when opening a bank account that I am funding with my own money. Seriously, WTH? When my balance is 0, I get no more cash from my account. Why in the world would my credit history have anything to do with my worthiness to deposit money in their bank? When extending credit, yes, I certainly understand a credit report being pulled. With a simple bank account, I think they are crossing a line.

EDIT: That said, green for you OP. Nice deal.

I have thought about this as well. It is probably to protect themselves (and other banks) from people with bad credit histories who may open a bunch of random checking accounts and bounce a lot of checks.

For these promotions, I imagine that is serves the additional purpose of hindering people who wish to open multiple accounts to take advantage of the offer more than once.

I read the whole thread and account terms, where does it say that you have to apply for BOTH to get the bonus, my understanding is that if you apply for the checking you get $100 if you add a savings account you get an extrta $25, I don't think you have to apply for the savings account to get the checking account bonus, is that right? Thanks OP

So does this mean i will have 2 checking & savings accounts if i already have a checking and savings account with BOA? I dont want to have 2 accounts, too much paper to look through
