That number was given to me by the BofA chat rep last week when I had issue pulling up the status of an AS application. It worked. Live reps work 9 to 6 M-F, and 11 to 7 on Saturday.

Thanks, Happy, that worked great. Just hit 3 and keep ignoring the many prompts to key in your SSN or phone number, exventually a person does come on.

After finding the $75 offer was no longer live, I did the $50 online. The first browser I tried could not open the link but the second browser did. Odd, so be persistent! Got a pending, called in and quickly approved.

Thanks again to all who left advice here.

I gave them the offer number upfront and said that if the offer wasn't current I would not be able to apply. I double checked the code I was using, and had each rep check it twice. I am confident that I gave them the correct offer - VAB2BP, using V as in Victor, A as in Apple, etc. One of the reps said it must not be good anymore.

I was confident enough to move on to the $50 online offer. Just call in and see if you get a different answer!

Found a backdoor number for BOA/FIA Spanish speaking service center, nice lady was very helpful, was denied due to credit freeze, requested to pull another report and was approved. Si, yo puedo!

Does anybody know this number or a good recon number to call? I tried the one in this thread, but like rtw, it was an Indian service center that told me to wait for a letter.

Just reporting back. Cards arrived one week after successful app, and when I called on 7/1 to confirm the $50 bonus, at first the rep could not find it on my acct. I gave her the offer code and then she was able to confirm it for me. So save the code (or come back here!) and have it ready if you call in to confirm the same.

Can somebody update the wiki ? It looks like the $50 signup links are dead now as of Aug 1, 2014 - No signup bonus at all available now unless someone has a better link ?

I have the Fidelity Investment Rewards Amex, just applied and got the 529 Amex. And doubled my credit limit on the Fidelity Visa.

I'm sick of their constant hard pulls for everything though and to get the 529 they split the 20k line on my first amex, so now each card has a 10k limit.

I have a BoA Americard Platinum Rewards that gets 1.5% everywhere do priv bonus and 3/2/1 with 18k line, can they take the limit from that and put it on the FIA cards?
