"B of A Abuses the Elderly "
My father recently died of vascular dimentia. He was pretty slow the last
few years but not so slow that he didn't recognize friends and family.

He was slow paying his bills and sometimes they didn't get paid at all.

After he died, I took over his affairs and found that B bo A was chaging
him 33.4% APR, $39 per month in penalties, and a $60 per year card fee.
This is all factual and a matter of record.

WOW - it takes your breath away. This is nothing but loan sharking and elder
abuse. I called the bank to talk to them and the representative I
talked to was ashamed of his company. Moreover, when he tried to pass me
on to management to talk about this, B of A managers didn't have the
ball to talk to me - even though I was being very polite.

Frankly, this is loathsome, despicable behavour. I can only imagine how many
elderly people this bank has abused. Would your trust your elderly parents with
B of A?

Shame on B of A.!!!!
 
Most attractive feature: Customer service - they were ashamed of their companies behavour
Least attractive feature: APR

"My Bank of America account."
I love Bank of America's Visa logo check card. I love the fact that I can use it as a credit card or a debit card. It gets rid of the need to have checks written. I recommend this card to all Bank of America account holders.
 
Most attractive feature: The Visa logo
Least attractive feature: Nothing.

"It's great."
I'm using my visa card for everything on my Christmas vacation. I trust my bank and card to keep me safe no matter where or when I use it. I never need to enter a pin number for someone else to see and my picture identification is right there on my card. It just makes things so easy with no trouble to use.
 
Most attractive feature: I can use my card anywhere, at the atm or at any store.
Least attractive feature: I haven't found any yet.

"Bank of unamerica"

of closing all of my accounts. They overbill you and then wait for you to call.
If you don't call, they keep your money.

"Bank of America ROCKS!"
We have had a Bank of America Gold Mastercard for almost 3 years now. There's nothing bad that I can say about Bank of America. There was one time we had a charge of $345 to Sears and I KNOW I only use my sears card to charge @ Sears. So I called customer service and notified them. It only took them 30 minutes to call me back ... seems the person making the purchase (their credit card wouldn't slide thru the thingy) so the sales person typed in the card #, but managed to switch 3 sets of #'s and those #'s just happened to be mine ... they removed the charge and sent us a $150 gift cert to Barnes & Noble!
 
Most attractive feature: There are NO ATM fees, & that makes us happy NASCAR racers!
Least attractive feature: haven't found one yet

"It&#'s okay..."
This is my first credit card, so it's kind of hard for me to say how good it is. I know that the APR on it is a little bit bad, at 20%... but I really like the customer service on the card, there is never any wait, and the people that answer the phones seem knowledgeable and are very helpful. I also trust Bank of America not to try to sneak anything into the deal that would give me a terrible deal, as it's not some small company that's making all of it's money through credit cards. So overall, I think this is a pretty good card, as long as you don't mind having a rather high APR rate... also there aren't any benefits that I know of.

"Annual fee"
I originally obtained this credit card through Seattle First National Bank in the State of Washington. I subsequently moved to California. In the meantime, Sea-First was purchased by Bank of America, which now owns my creidt card. I have, since institued, requested that the annual fee be waived or the credit card cancelled. Each year the annual fee would be waived and I would continue to hold the credit card. This last year I have been informed that the annual fee would be waived and that it is going to be waived on a permanent basis. I will, therefore, continue to hold and use the credit card.
 
Most attractive feature: High credit amount
Least attractive feature: Annual fee
