No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
I know only one CU which offers Amex, and this local CU.
But thing is Amex is offered via FIA wich leads you back to BOFA.

Amex branded card choices are few and far between. Given what you've said about your options and choices for an Amex or Amex branded card, I would suggest:
1.) Find a credit union that fits your needs, join, and app for their Visa.
2.) After the above approval, call and convert your current BOA card to a BOA Amex.
Granted, it can be a risk contacting BOA for anything in this climate, but if you really want an Amex-branded CC, that's probably your most viable option at the moment. Good luck.

Have many people done this here? The last time I called BoA, I felt like I was being interrogated. I have a couple of FIA cards, but I too am also interested in a co-branded AMEX.
It appears after Googling - FIA Card Services American Express Card Credit Union -,, That BoA backs the Amex branded Credit Union Cards,
I just joined USAA and they offer an Amex Card, Amex proper backs that one, So I dunno if USAA would aprrove you or not,
Good luck,
These are the only CU or FSB AMEX cards I am aware of. I have the USAA only.
