No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
BOA is not in good shape right now and became unpredictable.
Take your business to more stable institution, CU for example.

Have you opted out?
We just got approved for the Visa Power Rewards (unfortunately, we applied and were approved before our decision to leave BoA with our checking and savings). Was not a big deal, we went to the banking center and told them crystal clear, we want that card with 5K CL - approve it or forget it. Worked
Let me illustrate my BoA comments earlier.
I have a $10,000 Visa with BoA. I've had this card for almost 4 years. The initial CL was $10,000. I have a perfect history with them, use the card regulary for various large amounts, but generally pay in full and carry very few balances and never for more than 2 to 4 months.
I had retirement, savings, money market, brokerage (securities) and investment accounts with them personally. I had my business banking with them. These accounts amounted to a SUBSTANTIAL amounts of money with them, especially in the securities, investments and retirement.
I asked them 6 weeks ago for a CLI. They said no. My brother, who has similar circumstances as me they refused an auto loan.
I went to Alliant CU. They gave me instant preapproval for $10k. I went to PenFed CU. They gave me an initial CL of $10k. I went to Juniper/Barclays Biz MC. They gave me $15k. I went to Navy Fed CU and they gave me $25k Visa and $15k LOC.
My brother had nearly same results as me through the same CU's. And CapOne instant approved him an auto loan for 6% and sent him the "blank" check.
Alliant is asking me to refi or finance an auto through them. Navy Fed is soliciting me to refi or finance an auto. PenFed is offereing 2.99 BT.
BoA right now means:
Bad
option for
All new credit
....at least right now, IMO
