Greetings: I got the discontinuation letter from BofA the other day. Any rumors concerning another Bank offering a goldpoints plus credit card? The BofA card got me to start staying at Radissons (which I hadn't done in the past). Since I would assume that's one of the goals for these cards ( ie: new customers), I hope Radisson finds a new Bank partner.

There ain't nothin' in the pipeline for another CC affiliated with Carlson™ , paraphrasing a CSR comment. 
The disengagement was initiated on BOA's end.
I don't need any stinkin' WorldPoints®.

I agree. I'm going to cancel the BofA Worldpoints card when I get it. Don't need, Don't want. I'm sorry Carlson doesn't have any plans to switch to another Credit Card issuer.

Apparently this was part of a larger rehab of the Goldpoints Plus program (which is being renamed). The number of points required for a hotel stay is radically changing, for example.
Hard to believe they will give up branded credit cards altogether after just five years.
