Bank of America Credit Card Complaint

Bank of America Credit card department,

Other fee Nevada

In -/-/- I was approached in - - while waiting to board a - Airlines flight and asked if I would like to earn free - flights by signing up for a credit card. I asked if the credit card had an annual fee ant the sales person said there was no annual fee and there would be no annual fee. On that basis, I applied for a - branded credit card issued by Bank of America by giving the salesperson which he entered into a tablet. Over the course of the next year, I accumulated over - points ( miles ) which could be used to reduce the cost of airfare with - Airlines. In -/-/-, I received a letter from BoF thanking me for being a customer and informing me that a $59.00 annual fee would appear on my - credit card bill. I immediately called Bank of America and they informed me the charge was - Airlines responsibility. Tey even gave me the phone number and phone tree sequence of number to reach -. Upon calling -, I was informed the charge was not theirs, but would be generated by BoF. Whin I called BoF again, they acknowledged the charge was an annual fee for that particular credit card. They refused to waive the fee and reminded me I would lose all benefits if I cancelled the card. Having been backed into a corner, it appears the correct economic decision is to bite the bullet, pay the annual fee, and use the miles as quickly as possible before cancelling the BoF credit card.
