Wonder how many loans they give out to pot operations, which is illegal on a federal level, where guns are not.

Do yourself a favor and get the Amazon Prime Visa card through Chase. I get enough cash back points that the annual Prime charge is paid for.

NO. Better to open an account with your local S&L. Chase is just as crooked as BofA. Bank locally. Do you want Amazon to subject your transactions to AI ??

I'll opt for my local credit union's card; may pay 1% interest more on it but...

I’ve had an account with BOA since they were called NCNB back when I was stationed at Bragg in the early 80s. It’ll take me a while to disengage from them after 35+ years, but I guess I have no choice.

Reaching way back in my dusty memory, there was a scene in a Marx Brothers movie in which a newspaper reporter was aggravating Groucho.

Groucho asked his assistant, "Do we subscribe to that paper?"

"No."

"Well, take out a subscription and then cancel it!"

My parent company uses BoA for their corporate credit card so no choice there.

However I have a personal one that I used for zero interest for a year on balance transfers from many years ago. Time to move the little balance left to another card and close that account. Screw ‘em.

I highly doubt that.
You're a bank, a despised institution pointed-out and vilified in a variety of religious and social-philosophical texts. None of your social altruism will change the opinions of your profession, stick to being apolitical as people expect.

I'm in the same boat. Been contemplating moving my check/savings away from them, this is good time to do so.

"The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken

There are 3 kinds of people, those that understand numbers and those that don't.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

They issue the Bass Pro Shop credit card. I have one in my wallet. I find it hypocritical that they'd decline business with gun manufacturers and issue cards in the name of gun retailers.

I'll be cancelling mine this week. I never used it anyway so it's no big deal. I only got it to get some cash off a purchase.

Here's to the sunny slopes of long ago.

It doesn't hurt them to close the account, it can however hurt your credit, especially if it's one of your oldest cards. If you want to cost them money, switch to paper bills and buy one pack of gum every year. Your account will cost them to maintain, but the fees on 99¢ worth of charges per year won't come close to covering it.

I intentionally never used them. I have one credit card because they bought out MBNA years ago. It was my first card so I can't get rid of it due to having it for so long. I need the age for my credit score.
