I was ready to open a checking account until I read the fineprint under footnote 1.

Eligibility: Offer only available to customers who receive this offer via a direct communication from Bank of America®. New eligible personal checking account must be opened between May 24, 2015 and July 31, 2015. Bank of America may change or terminate this offer before this date without notice. To be eligible for this limited-time offer, you must not currently have a personal checking account with Bank of America. You are not eligible for this offer if you were a signer or owner of a Bank of America personal checking account within the last twelve (12) months.

Unfortuantely, I did receive this offer directly from BOA, and I already have an existing personal checking account. Has anyone had experience from similar previous promotions? I'd like to know whether BOA enforces these provisions.
