I have done my banking with Sandia Laboratories Federal Credit Union for over 20 years. They have treated me very well. Find a good Credit Union in your area and tell B of A to f*ck off!

Big banks and the NWO are not going to let a little thing like illegal citizenship get in their way. I do not have a relationship with BOA and I guess I never will. But unless BOA pays a price in the marketplace, the other big boys are sure to follow.

[Principled]

you have to have a B of A checking account for three months prior to getting a credit card account. And for that checking account you have to have a SS number and.....

This doesn't add up.

Credit cards w/ no SSN, but to get this credit card, you need an SSN to establish a checking account?

Do you need an SSN or not for this BofA credit card?

[Jemini]

all you need to open a credit card is a Federal tax ID #
Gladly given out in the hopes you pay taxes......

[RichRepublican]

I don't get it either. What is the point of offering a SSN-free credit card then?

[stephenjohnbanker]

To lend to illegals, legally.

[Principled]

It doesn't make sense to require the SSN for the account that is the prerequisite for the credit card which doesn't require the SSN.

They must have an SSN for the account, hence all applicants for the credit card that doesn't require an SSN will all be applicants who already have an SSN.

OY!

I used to work for Bank of America.... I see they are as stupid as ever. They find great ways to lose money.

Yep, exactly what I did. Cancelled my Juniper and Bank of America cards and switched to my local Credit Union.

BoA bankcard counts on at least 10% of its customers to be delinquent and makes a mint from fees.

I can imagine their collections department having a direct line to ICE.

"Hey Jose, you don't pay, they be on the way"

[Snoopers-868th]

Nah, they will help them file bankruptcy and hand them another card while it is processing. LOL

[Coldwater Creek]

I have a B of A card, and when i called this morning to verify that they were issuing cards to people without SS cards, I got denial after denial that this is what was happening.
The person that I talked to said that I was the only person that had questioned the practice and that it was against the law to discriminate against anyone that applied.

We use DCU. A remnant of Digital Equipment Corp.

And we carry only one Credit Card.

[Strutt9]

Great Idea!!!!!!! I like that, but, I don't want a BAC credit card.

[Rakkasan1]

I wonder how cool BOA execs would be with allowing Saudis to fly with them without any I.D.

[cthcmh]

Thanks B of A, I will now close my accounts and bank elsewhere

My family and I have been Bank of America customers for over 30 years. We have done thousands upon thousands, upon thousands of dollars worth of business with them and have used their credit card for nearly all our large purchases. This tears it, they care more about giving credit to ILLEGAL aliens than they do LAW ABIDING CITIZENS of the United States. This is going to result in BILLIONS OF DOLLARS in fraudulent debt that BOA will expect me and my family to cover with higher credit rates and higher user fees. Well, listen up BO: my entire family is transferring ALL of our remaining balances, cutting up the BOA credit cards and letting Bank of America, now the Bank of MEXICO know that they have lost our business FOR EVER!

I am sure we are not alone, Please let Bank of America know that you are not going to foot the bill for billions of dollars in bad credit card debt because they want to give credit cards to ILLEGAL aliens.

Boycott the Bank of America!

[Jmouse007]

Bank of America is feeling the heat as a result of the massive fallout on the part of law abidding American customers of their new illegal alien credit card program/scam. This morning, (Thursday February 22, 2007) Fox News ran a lengthy news spot citing damage control that Bank of America put out for mass consumption basically saying:

"You know that Illegal Alien" credit card program/deal we've got going? Well, it ain't what it is. Who are you going to believe; us or your lying eyes."

The letter was all: "We are performing a legal service and are not breaking any laws." Yadda, yadda, jive talk. Nowhere do they deny doing what they are doing: providing credit and credit cards to illegal aliens. Nowhere in the spot or in their statement does Bank of America say; "How could we have been so stupid, we hear the outrage of our legal American citizen customers and are going to stop this program immediately."... NO, none of that, just a basic: "Ignore that man pulling those levers behind the curtain, don't leave, we want your business/money" baloney.

Anyway, the FOX News people stated that BOA was losing a lot of customers and that a lot of people (like myself) had stopped using there credit cards, had cut them up/jumped ship and gone with other banks who do NOT give credit cards to ILLEGAL aliens.

The whole point of the news spot and Bank of America/MEXICO's statement was that the boycott is having an immediate effect. BOA/M is feeling it in their bottom line.

I am posting this to let everyone know that the boycott of this bank that supports illegals over law abiding American citizens is working. Keep up the good work!
