BofA PC not possible?

[Trikoret]

I also did a PC for my wife BofA premium card to cash card. They even offered to PC the travel card too since I told them the 2500 per quarter is not enough. They probably freezing minor requests since it's a 2 week process. No idea why takes BofA forever for these kind of things. Amex and Chase do PC the same day.

I wish I could apply for a new card to get the bonus, but I have far too many inquiries and new accounts.

Thanks everyone! I'll call again soon

So I've been trying to call BofA and change my cash rewards MC to a travel rewards visa. The phone CSR kept telling me that it's not possible for now and I'll need to call later. Today I called and they told me it's actually impossible to change my card to a travel rewards because the travel rewards has no FTF while mine has, and the only possible way for me is to apply for a new travel rewards.

I wanted to ask if anyone was able to PC from a BofA card with FTF to one without FTF. The cash rewards has been useless for me and I can't even get a CLI even though it's 18 months now since I opened it.

My Travel Rewards card was a PC from a BankAmericard (previously some MBNA card that BOA acquired) that had FTFs.  Unfortunately, it sometimes takes a few HUCA to get a PC done with BOA as not all CSRs know how to do it.  And it usually takes a few weeks.  Keep trying and you'll get it accomplished.

PCd my BofA BankAmericard (with FTF) to a CashRewards Card with a single phone call. Rep was very helpful, no resistance. Only hitch was they would not change payment networks - BankAmericard was a MC, CashRewards a Visa. So I received a WMC CashRewards, as opposed to the standard Visa Signature.

Totally agree.  

BoA is all over the places when it comes to PC.  After 3 tries I was able to PC a 5 month-old CO-BRANDED card with AF (the $79 Amtrak) to a CR.   If that PC was possible just about anything is as long as it complies with Card Act and other hard legal terms. 

To OP, HUCA and good luck!
