Band Of America Secured Card displaying funny/weird?

[ngerasimatos]

My secured credit card is showing as the following.

Bank of America - Emerging Credit Platinum Plus Visa

Is this the new name for their secured card or are they converting me to a non-secured card?

Yes this is the name for the secured Visa through BofA.  I have the same card.  The downer is it does say secured on the cbr as well.

Does the fact that it displays secured on the CBR affect your FICO or anything else?

I JUST! I JUST! JUST! Got rid of my Secured card through them this morning. I have a Savings account linked to the card that keeps charging me retarded fees. So that card also may be gone for you in the next 2 days I hope

I doesn't effect your Fico score, because the scoring model doesn't pay attention to that, just the utl and payment history.  It can however effect a manual review I believe, although if the payment history on it is good, then IMO, it shouldn't matter than either.
