FIA is just a corp structure that operated under boa.  it is the old MBNA credit card biz.  as they integrate and streamline operations old  businesses get folded into the primary business.  just my guess

So Bank of America is disolving FIA as its past its usefulness to them and it ran its course basically?

No. FIA was wholly owned by BoA. BoA is now renaming FIA to BoA. The state of incorporation is changing but that's it.

Not so sure about that... It also says the company they "partner with for travel, retail and assistance benefits will change." There is a website setup to review the changes, but you have to put the first 10 digits of your card, and mine are all in the SD and I am traveling so I can't view right now.

Ha. Funny, this is exactly why I came to MyFico today. I'm in the same boat. Do you know if the website will indeed be changing??

Awesome. State of the art! FIA can take a hike. Loved MBNA America but FIA is something else...

Heh, not so funny: I was near horrified to find out on the Fidelity Amex approval that I was stuck with a less than stellar online payment option and no mobile app that I could find.  Good grief even my random CU's have a mobile app in some csses for several years.

I'd love if it switched to the BOFA interface, I still think their online / mobile presense is among the best, likewise for several years.

True, very true. Using BofA online interface would've been a big plus to it.

Curious.. what is the website? Guessing that was something in the mailer. Haven't seen anything yet in my mail.

Thanks. Hmm.. I was hoping there would be some reference to the change but I guess it's handy to have the benefits listed. After you punch in a card, the linked T&C PDFs still reference FIA CS.
