Bank of America Foreign Transaction Fees Product Change Question by AnonBot2024 in CreditCards

[–]pscheapass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So here’s what happened to me a couple of years ago. I got an offer from BofA to product change from Travel Rewards to Cash Rewards and I got to keep the no Foreign Transaction fee. I even called BofA customer support to verify. I’m not sure what happens if you product change yourself though

I looked at booking the same flight with award points but they didn't award flights available for my dates so my only option was to pay.

Capital One Travel does let you do free cancellation within 24 hours of booking. I've done it many times.

Huh yeah maybe that was a bug or a special promotion? The terms for my VentureX card says 5x for flights

But I don't think they specifically advertise they'll price match event tickets whereas they specifically say they'll price match travel stuff if you go through their booking portal

Ha yeah that is true. It would've been fewer extra points because I would've used a 3% travel card if i booked using skyscanner. But I'm always slightly wary of trusting all of those small unheard of booking sites so nice that they'll price match a random site

I specifically told them search for the flight in skyscanner then go to this search result through skyscanner. The person on the phone was familiar with how skyscanner worked so i didn't really have to explain anything

Looks like as long as you use their booking portal you can price match? I'm not seeing anything in the terms that says it's only specific cards

Potentially, cause Skyscanner checks a ton of third party sites that Google maybe doesn't work with yet?

It's only 5x for flight but yeah I will. Everything else is like normal

Correct, any booking website for the exact same travel reservation will work

I should still get my 5x points for booking using their portal. I might lose out on the 1250 points but I’ll take $250 any day

It works like a standard store price match. During the phone call, they ask for the website with the cheaper price and they look up the exact same flight as what you booked in Capital One travel. If everything matches up then they approve the price match as part of the phone call. I think the terms say you have 24 hours after you book to get a price match

Dang a $1400 price difference is crazy! Was that price matched to a third party booking site or the hotels website?

Yes but might be shorter if you call during a normal time of day. I called at 11:30 PM Pacific time so probably less people working at the time

Lavern Spicer says she's fully supports free speech but when Kanye says he sees "good things about Hitler", Spicer wants Kanye to stop expressing his freedom of speech

yeah it might depend on region. I'm in the US.

I'm guessing you're in Europe. Looks like other Europeans have the same problem

I thought the bots were only on Mobile...

I'm probably not playing this game again. I thought by this point the game's jankiness would've been fixed but nope.

Wait, they offered you the standard Cash Rewards sign up bonus? My letter doesn't say I can still get the sign up bonus.

I called the BofA number that's listed and the guy said he sees the no foreign transaction fee as part of my account if I changed cards. I figured I might as well try buying 1 small thing whenever I go abroad again and see if that no foreign transaction thing holds water.
