Does anyone have experience converting cards with B of A, any ideas?
There are conflicting reports about this. You used to be able to downgrade but some report that as of 2015, BofA will no longer do this without another hard pull. Some have reported success with the business version. When I tried last year, I was told no more conversions or downgrades. In any case, all of the discussion is here:
