I agree this is outrageous. I was told by a CSR that you won't be able to access until your new card arrives in a week or more. Then you have to register it on BofA's online website (not FIA).

It's a joke, all around.

Ultimately the joke is on them. Thousands of dollars each month is now being shunted through my Costco Amex instead. BofA won't get the merchant fees on even a pack of gum.
