so has anyone received the nano?

Yes. In fact, your ipod came to my home. Now, I have two to enjoy!

Seriously, why bother asking this question? I am sure someone will post asap after they receive one.

i ask because this thread's been started in sept. 3 months and no one has received a nano?

Sorry - guess I wasn't clear (teaches me not to post when I could be at the blackjack tables) - I was doing a phone app for a Citi card, while doing this BoA card app online. I did several apps last night (2 citi, a Chase, this one and another BoA). Wasn't sure if that was enough to be considered an AOR...

I remember getting a rebate check 10 months after a bf deal 2 years back, which was just in time to spend it at the next years bf deals. And I just received confirmation that an offer I applied for in July had been received -- but not yet approved. I could have sworn they never got the mail, and had just sent in a resubmission a day earlier. A friend had applied for an 1G iPod under a different offer with a bank, and just received a 2G because in the interim 6 months those weren't available anymore, and she had to call 4 times about it. I expect by the time my iPod shows up under this deal, it will have hologram videos, and it will come in from Bank of North America.

LOL, OP. I have a feeling that by the time I receive my Ipod, it will be equipped with a cortex interface. No more ear buds.

it means, the promotion gives out two items:
1. jersey
2. ipod

jersey arrives like a week after you sign up but the ipod doesnt show up after more than 2 months
i mean... if your gonna send out 1 of your items, why dont you just them together or something.
is there an interest in holding the most amount of ipods in your inventory? does apple give you like 10 new ipods for each 10,000 ipods you hold on to?

For those who did the MLB card, was there any reference to the Nano promotion in your online access, or was it only in the "welcome" package you receive with the card? I called today to check on the status of my app and found out I've been approved. The rep was unable to check promos, but said it would all be laid out when I get my card in 7-10 days (she didn't know if that info would be reflected anywhere online).

thanks

jmorgan - did you confirm that the ipod and jersey were included in your promo (after you received the card)? My wife signed up for the other deal ($50 stmt credit and nano) but got nothing about it in the package with her card. She's been trying to deal with BofA CS with little luck thus far. Others have posted similar experiences in this thread (seems mainly an issue with the WorldPoints card though).

I applied about 2 weeks after this was posted.

I've called a couple times in the last month and kept getting the same answer from CS saying that there was no link to the offer to my account. Arguing did not help either time.

So I sent multiple emails, sending the link to the offer we have signed up for. No reply, despite the promise that all emails will be answered in 12 hours.

My last email sent yesterday was a pretty nasty one, threatening to not pay another bill until I get a response about the offer. Sure they probably don't care that if I don't pay, its my credit. Surprisingly I got a reply today saying that the nano and jersey would be sent to me in 8-12 weeks.

I notice on the application it says that you have to respond to this offer to get the reward. They must be banking on people not responding to the offer, or just giving up after being told that there is no link to the offer in their accounts.

My suggestion to those having problems with CS is to log into your accounts online and email them the link to the application. They will have a hard time "playing dumb" to the offer when they are staring at the application.

lrothkcsa said: CoreyC - congrats on the favorable resolution. Unfortunately, no such luck (yet) on my end. Wife is away, so I'm using the time to get some things in order, one of which being her BofA promo - still haven't gotten my MLB card and as such, don't know if complaining is necessary. Anyhow, I sent an email through her account page yesterday (includng the link to the application page). Woke up this morning, found the $50 statement credit applied (she still doesn't have a first statement up though), and the following new message in her account...I went through a similar experience with BOA/FIA when I first got the card. I called wanting to confirm that the promotions were on my account -- I opted for the $50 credit/ipod, and was told, no there were no promotions on the account. Well I started to be upset, but thinking it through, took another tact. I asked if the promotion code that I opened the account under, FAAH3L (FAAF89 if you opted for the jersey), was attached to the account. Well after a long wait, he said yes it was there, but no promotions were activated yet and there was no way to tell what the code meant unless he checked a different system. Finally, he said yes that code was for $50 and the ipod. I asked why he didn't see that to begin with? Well he checked with his supervisor, and it seems the promotions are not activated until the conditions for the promotion are met.

So as far as I understand, if they confirm the promotion code is attached to your account, then when you meet the conditions, the promotions will activate and the csa will be able to see them. This would explain why the $50 showed up once you made an initial purchase, but the ipod will not show until the $2k is reached. Hopefully, this will work as they said...

lrothkcsa said: Thanks for the tip Martin. I'll give that a shot. Of course, my wife has neither the patience nor the tact to deal with CSRs most of the time and they won't let me discuss her account over the phone, so it looks like email will have to suffice.Well of course if you call when she's around, all you need is for her to id herself and give permission for you to follow on with the call.

FeeDog said: I went through my ordeal yesterday with them. What a mess they are. I did get the $50 credit for a $2k BT, which I promptly paid back in full (after enjoying about a month of interest on it sitting in a Money Market), but haven't heard a peep about the ipod. The CSR read me the code that I have on my account, which indeed matched the deal, but she said that code didn't seem to sync up with the ipod offer. I took her to the website that has that exact code on it still to this day. She appologized and said she'd submit it for "research" and they will allegedly call me back. I'm sure we'll eventually get them, but not for some time. Bummer for me, as I had hoped to give the Nano to my brother in law for x-mas, along with buying some accessories since it's so cheap. But now he's stuck getting a fully paid for shuffle... oh well.

by the way, long time reader, who just joined. thanks to all for the years of insight.

FDI understand your concerns and have them myself, but it seems that the csr's are like a box of chocolates -- you never know what you're going to get. Some of them have a clue where and how to look to interpret the promotion codes, and other's probably were born without them. In this case I was told the codes were interpreted and activated on a different system, so as long as they are on your account and you already got the $50, the ipod will probably show up in a box unannounced 3 months from now, which seems to be their lag time for shipping them. Of course, some acknowlegement that you really will indeed get one would be nice, so try a few csr's to find a more helpful one. Keep us posted...

ComputerGreek said: Got mine today! Yippee! 2G Silver Nano. Never did get the jersey though - hopefully it's on it's way.

It seems you are the first one who got ipod. When did you finish your 2k trans? and did you receive any email notification from BoA, or UPS just dropped by?

i had a missed UPS package today too. it's either the jersey or the ipod.

BankofGreed said: Got it!!

Silver 2GB Ipod.

Made my $2000 worth of purchases at the end of Oct.

I used the other promo ($50 statement credit + ipod) to qualify for this ipod.

That makes 2 (the other courtesy of keybank) in a span of three months.

Is it the newer model ipod (2nd generation)?

Received iPod today, 2GB silver.

Hmm...so this is still open for new apps? A friend is planning an app and I would recommend adding this. Didn't see a deadline to apply in the links posted in the OP.

TonySpero said: For those who want to find out if they have iPod in transit go Here and enter 3307 in Shipment Reference box then of course pick US in Destination Country pull down menu, then enter your zip code, hope this helps some people.I was testing your reference link against a few packages I have already received, and according to the UPS site, this number is entered by the shipper usually as a PO number, or package ID. Each package I received, even from the same shipper, had a different code entered here. Why do you think all ipods shipped by BOA will have this same reference code?

[oops duplicated post]

Well, somebody in my zip code is getting a package Monday. Green for Tony for getting me excited.
