Consumer Narrative
Initially Goldman Sachs sent me an invitation to open an Apple Card Acct in XX/XX/XXXX. In exchange, it offered a complicated {$50.00} acct opening bonus as detailed below : 1. Apply for Apple Card 2. Be approved for credit, 3. Use the card at XXXX XXXX XXXX within 30-days of receiving the card to purchase at least {$50.00} in services, 4. First {$50.00} spent would be credited back into my new Apple Card Acct within 60 days. I satisfied 1 and 2 rules above : 1. I was given a {$7500.00} line of credit within minute after applying, 2. An Apple Card was sent to my home address, 3. I used the card at XXXX XXXX XXXX numerous times within first 30-days of card issuance. However, I never received the {$50.00} credit. I communicated with them numerous times by chat lines and direct phone calls. Then I followed by sending an 8-page letter to them since XX/XX/XXXX demanding the {$50.00} bonus offer to be credited into my new Apple Account. Unfortunately, Goldman Sachs has refused to honor its commitment. to this day and has stopped responding to me requests to communicate. I still have the account active but have not used it since XX/XX/XXXX. It has been a frustrating experience for me and my partner. We wonder if others have complained about same issues with Goldman Sachs Bank. I would be glad to send a copy of the 8-page letter I sent them if CFPB is interested to investigate their conduct.
