No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Ditto......per the debit card, technically the bank was out $200 and BofA was good about covering it and the account was permanently closed. Carry those bank numbers with you...

That sounds like a No Hassles Capital One commercial waiting to happen.

Is that the site with the story about the couple who went to London, notifying BofA in advance, and his were frozen and hers weren't? Hilarious phone conversation with the BofA CSR, when the traveler asked the rep to read the notice that he would be using the card in England, and the rep was still confused.
I think MV posted it on Credit in the News, something about angry swans. (The traveler was standing on a table outside a pub, being swarmed by swans while trying to talk to BofA on his cell phone.)
