Consumers who complete all stated requirements for an Ally Bank promotional cash bonus find the bank refuses to honor the promotion without clear explanation. Despite meeting deposit, account opening, and direct deposit requirements, the bonus is withheld. This pattern of promotional non-fulfillment erodes trust in digital bank customer acquisition practices.
