Bank of America class action overview:
- Who: Plaintiff Daniel Christensen filed a class action lawsuit against Bank of America.
- Why: Christensen claims that Bank of America advertised a sign-up bonus for a new credit card but then never paid the bonus.
- Where: The Bank of America class action was filed in federal court in North Carolina.
Plaintiff Daniel Christensen filed a class action lawsuit against Bank of America claiming the bank advertised a sign-up bonus for starting a credit card, but then never paid out those bonuses.
Bank of America was recently fined $150 million by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for charging improper non-sufficient funds fees, misleading consumers about credit card bonuses and opening credit cards without consumers’ consent.
New Bank of America credit card customers spent the set amount during the set period of time required for the sign-up but then were never paid the bonus, the Bank of America class action claims. Bank of America did not honor the bonus for those who signed up for the credit cards either in-person or via telephone did not receive the bonus.
“Whether the misrepresentation was made online or orally by Bank of America, members of the ‘Class’ were promised that they would receive their full, as advertised Sign-Up Bonus if they met the stated spending minimum within the time required,” the Bank of America credit card class action says.
Not paying the bonus was a breach of contract and deceptive business practice, Bank of America class action says
Bank of America not paying the bonus is a breach of contract, providing the bank unjust enrichment and it also violates North Carolina’s unfair and deceptive trade practices act, the Bank of America credit card class action claims.

I have been charged $2.50 a total of 17 times. Its says balance inquiry. I don’t check my balance anywhere but my phone on the app and I only with draw money at the cash register so there is no fee.
They keep moving money between my checking and savings with no explanation. Even if it’s been days since I spent anything from my account. They’re small amounts, but why? Do they make money when they transfer between accounts?

They charge me fees all the time. To my personal account and saving. So I close one of them already.
Being charged overdraft fees
Yes same thing with me . They stole 14000.00 dollars from me. And still refuse to get it fixed. They claimed and they close my case like they don’t know why my money missed but they stole it
They promised me a 200 dollar sign up bonus if I opened a bank account with them I’ve yet to receive anything.
Similar experience but in our case it was a $1,000 bonus after keeping a balance of at least $20,000 in the new account for at least 60 days
