User reports Anthropic account access cut off after purchasing API credits with promotional bonus

**Summary**

A Reddit user reports purchasing $339.57 in Anthropic API credits after being offered a 10% bonus promotion, only to have their account access cut off two days later. The user claims Anthropic has retained the unused credit balance without explanation or refund.

**Dominant framing**

The single framing present in available discussion frames this as a consumer complaint about account termination and potential funds retention. The user characterizes it as unfair treatment—accepting payment for a promotional offer, then revoking access while keeping the money.
