Has anyone PC'd their BOA 123 to the Better Balance Rewards card? I'm finding less and less use for the 123 Cash Rewards card, and I could earn $25 quicker with the Better Balance Rewards card, than I do with the 123. Also, would this be a HP/would I be able to keep my current CL?


I had the same questions as i was approved for the BOA 123 by recon on Monday and wanted to switch to the Better Balance rewards card as well.  After reading this post before bed, I woke up and decided to try my luck.  I called and said I was just approved for the account on Monday.  The specialist said my card was mailed as of yesterday and to see what she can do.  After a hold of about 10 minutes she came back and said she can go ahead with a conversion.  She then read to me a Visa to MasterCard disclosure and said my BBR card should arrive in 2-4 weeks, she also stated that when I get the BOA 123 card in the mail to use it until the BBR card arrives then to destroy it as it will have a new account number. 

 

It did not cost me a HP at all, they didn't even mention my CR or CL.  Furthermore, I'm guessing since i switched the account before I received the card in the mail they went ahead with the conversion.  I'm not sure. 

 

But I do have a question...Since I will be using the BOA123 card for 2 to 4 weeks does that mean I am still eligible to receive the $100 after $1000 spend?  If so, that would be sweet!

Don't think so, and whatever rewards you accumulate you will lose as well.  In other words, I wouldn't touch that card.
