Awaiting a call from BOA EO

As some of you may know I’m trying to get my BOA secured card to unsecure, it’s been my goal ever sense I started rebuilding my credit last year. I’ve had the card over 12 months now and nothing even though I’ve never paid a penny interest, always paid in full and have received over 100 dollars in rewards. Ive called the backdoor number like 3 times to see if I could get an answer to why my card has not been reviewed yet? They say its all up to the computer. I find it hard to believe that someone at BOA cant unsecure my card without a HP.  I  do know that having the card reviewed does not mean it will automatically become unsecured but I would like to at least have the card be reviewed w/o getting a HP. It’s sad that my own bank who i have been with for 7 years have a good portion of my DD going there and having always at least 5k just sitting in my checking account cant unsecure a card for 300 bucks without doing another HP. I don’t even need the card it’s just the principle of it now. How can chase give me $8200 total credit lines and I don’t even bank with them? It makes no sense to me.

 

 Anyways, I chatted with boa online which they have been the most helpful of anyone I have dealt with at BOA and I asked for the ceo’s email and they said that they will have someone call me from the EO. This should be great! Last time I talked to the EO at BOA they said that at 12 months I will automatically get another HP on my credit report to see if the card could become unsecured. I told the lady that’s not true and she got angry with me.  I almost closed out the card the last time I spoke to someone at the back door number but they said I would lose my rewards cause I currently had only 21 dollars cause I cashed most of it out in feb when I bought my car. So I ended up going to wal mart and bought a 200 dollar gift card and got my 2% cash back for 4 bucks so when my next statement cuts I can cash out my rewards and close my card if they don’t unsecure it. It should be interesting to see if the EO even calls me.

Re: Awaiting a call from BOA EO

Well I got the call back... They won't unsecure the card without another hp. They said it's always been this way. I can't wait till my statement cuts in June so I can cancel my card and get my rewards.

Sorry that you're not having better luck with them.  You've got much better cards now, just close it and move on.

Most unfortunate! Who understands credit logic? Like the other posters said, grab the rewards and move on.
