Me too :-(
I was one of the few BoA Visa holders. I already have the Barclay's World Elite mastercard - so there was no point in have 2 US Airways Mastercards.
I called Barclays to have them avoid doing this and they were of no help. I was transferred between 4 agents - none of whom understood what was happening.
I transferred my balance from the BoA Visa to the original mastercard and will close the new account without activating the card.
Truly unbelievable that they don't see that I already had a World Elite card. Horrid service. I'm thinking of moving to the Citi Card and applying for a Visa that also offers rewards.
