I was making a routine checking deposit this morning at BOA when my teller leaves, the bank manager comes over to tell me I'm preapproved for Plat Plus Visa. 0% intro then 9.9%. I tell him I really don't need another Visa but would consider a MC offer. He scrolled through his screen a few minutes and I am the proud Mom of the very obscure Thurgood Marshall College Fund World Points Rewards Mastercard! CL $7500. I asked if it was soft or hard inquiry and he did say it was soft. He also said you must have pretty good credit to get a preapproved offer from us. I'm thinking I hope I don't get shot down (don't taze me dude). But it was a go. He said I've never even seen this card before. So I check it out when I get home, it's not on the BOA website I actually had to do a search for it and it's issued by FIA. FIA wants my business? It was a gooood day!! Exp 688

wow! WTG! Great opening cl. 
Thanks Sylvia!! I was holding out for Citi but this kind of fell in my lap. This definitely gets me over that Wamu fiasco!! I'm wondering if I should try CLI on activation, I was told the card takes 5 days to arrive. Do you or anyone have experience with this?
I really don't have any experience with BoA in that area. I'm sure someone will chime in shortly.
so let me get this straight....
you went into the branch and was offered a credit cars without even asking for it? That hasn't happened to me and i've been a BOA customer for years.

Nice job, and congrats on the new card!
I bet you're right that nobody on this forum has this card, but I bet there will be some coming by any moment now asking where you have to go to apply for one and what scores you need!
