So has it been determined if its a hard pull or soft for *existing* card holders who have this offer showing on their online accounts?

In terms of funding the min balance for the account. Do you have to fund the money online such as transferring from an existing account or can you physically go to the bank and deposit that money?

and does anyone know when this offer expires?

Quick and easy, thanks OP, funded with a $25. charge on a BofA CC...

curiousmiles said:Oops! I didn't see the minimum $25 to fund, and I only funded $5.
Can I deposit extra $20 when I get the account to get the bonus?

Yes. You have to fund $25 within the first 30 days.

2. According to the BOFA rep, if you are a current customer it is a SOFT pull.

The first I can attest to as i just did it, the latter I cannot comment as It doesn't reflect that fast in the CB.

Nope, it's a HARD pull, even if you're a current credit card customer.

Are we sure this offer is valid for those who have not received it directly from BoA?

If it turns out to not be valid, will we receive any notification other than simply not receiving the $100?

Go with WAMU!Please stop threadcrapping. This thread is not a referendum on BOA's practices. Besides, if and when WAMU comes out with a $100 account opening special, please post it here. Otherwise, your comment is completely off topic here.

I found out about the offer from this thread, opened an account and have already received the $100 bonus. Further, the terms of the offer do not say anything about receiving it directly from BOA.
If it's only offered in certain states, you might be in one of those. Would it say if it was only offered in certain states?

The reason I'm concerned about this is that the code I was given was CH100CSP instead of CH100CTA. But my offer is vague, with a vague implication that it might or might not be free without direct deposit. But what if each code is only valid in some states? Might we lose the $100 by using the wrong code?

How long did the $100 take? Did you receive any indication that you would be receiving it, such as an email saying you qualified and had to wait 50 days or whatever?

did you even finish reading the first post?

"only valid only for new MyAccess Checking® accounts"

Depending on semantics, a conversion from another type of checking account could be taken as opening a "new" MyAccess account since I've never had one before. My question is still valid.

Also posted in the BofA Master Thread.

FYI, I funded my account in April and have already received the $100 bonus.
