BoA MLB CC upcoming logo changes

 

Some of you may recall discussion on the forum about how earlier this year the links on Bank of America's website to apply for the MLB Mastercard quietly disappeared.    There has been some recent chatter from MLB debit card holders being advised of upcoming changes in their latest statements.

 

Today's statement for my MLB World Mastercard included the following:

 

Important Messages

Major Leage Baseball (TM)

 

We will be making changes to your Major League Baseball (TM) credit card account.

What you need to know  (bold was BoA's)

 

On January 5, we will send a letter letting you know about the changes to your account.

Also, on January 5, your statements, online banking and other communications will have the Bank of America logo only.

 

Reading between the lines it sounds like the card will likely just be redesignated as a stock Customized Cash Rewards card.

Yep. Debit cards too:

Makes me sad but I guess there just wasn't enough interest to keep paying the MLB.

I have a MLB, oh well will see who else they have besides the WWF to support and see about a PC to it.

Other than the Komen card most of the alternate-branded versions of the CCR including the WWF card also no longer show up on their website.

I can see my PGA Tour debit mastercard going the same way when it comes up for renewal.  Never been able to see this product listed on the BofA website.

Re: BoA MLB CC upcoming logo changes

My conversion letter arrived today.

 

Coldfusion:

 

We want to let you know that your Major League Baseball(TM) Customized Cash Rewards credit card will become a Bank of America Unlimited Cash Rewards credit card because our credit card progrm with Major League Baseball(TM) has ended.

 

Beginning the middle of March, we'll mail you a new Bank of America Unlimited Cash Rewards credit card to replace your existing card. <blah blah meow meow meow>

 

For me that's a downgrade because I use mine to get 5.25% back on gas, and since I also have a Preferred Rewards card I already have the 2.62% band covered.   I'm going to ask if I can get a CCR instead.

Re: BoA MLB CC upcoming logo changes

Interesting they are downgrading yours. My letter says its being converted to a CCR with the same rewards structure as the MLB card. I would call them now and try to PC it to their CCR before the conversion.

Re: BoA MLB CC upcoming logo changes

Just got off the phone - the rep was surprised that this was going to be a downgrade, he had to escalate to a manager as he wasn't able to pull up a copy of the letter himself.   Also confirmed that the replacement cards will start going out on March 11th. 

 

There's no option to request a CCR instead and his only advice was to wait until I get the replacement card and call in again to confirm if there is a PC available.

Re: BoA MLB CC upcoming logo changes

They are switching me to the UCR, which I don't want. I called and ask to product change my account to a regular CCR. The rep didn't have a clue, was given a number for new account to call in the morning. Anybody know if I can product change it to a regular CCR, before they switch me to UCR?

See post #8 above,  I was told it can't be PC'd before the switchover.
