Special Fare Bank of America Companion Fare Cities... Varies 09-11-2017
Special Fare Bank of America Companion Fare Cities... Varies 09-11-2017
Special Fare Bank of America Companion Fare Cities... Varies 06-11-2018
I assume if I cancel all 3 cards that I will lose all these companion fares? The only relevant one is the last one since I might possibly use it next year. But not likely enough that I should renew the card though...
But my points will be unaffected, right? Thank you,

Yes. Your posted miles are unaffected by credit card account closure. Your companion codes should be unaffected as well and remain in your Mileage Plan account. See the Companion Fare thread in this forum for hints on effectively extending a companion fare using a placeholder booking.
The last code is an interesting case. I thought that the annual code will only post after the annual fee hits the account. Not sure if that one would be clawed back if you got BofA to reverse the AF on closure.
