I think the fee is ridiculous.

I agree with you 100%. I will no longer be using Bank of America for any banking services. They are greedy and I hope they lose a lot of business over this.

$5 .. how often? I was always under the impression that Americans don’t tend to use their debit cards quite the same way we Canadians do (for me, it’s like cash.. I use it for all but the smallest of purchases). I imagine that there’s a monthly charge to use it along with other services. I cant say I know the breakdown of my $12 charge each month. I’ll support your cause for sure, but no need to enter me in the giveaway part.

I heard that this was coming and it’s outrageous! I honestly didn’t believe that it was truly going to happen. We may actually become a cash society again!

I am going to avoid sharing the words that I said when my husband and I learned that our little military income would be assaulted even further by our bank — BofA which is now Bank of A$$hole$ around our place.
We aren’t able to close the account as we would like but we are going to turn in our check card and join a credit union. When our direct deposit comes in, we are going to pull the money out and put it in the CU.
I feel like screaming “Occupy Bank of America”!

I can’t stand BOA…they hold my mortgage and I refuse to let them hold my money. This just confirms what I already know…BOA is greedy and feeding on the backs of the little guys. If I could, I’d move my mortgage. Did you know they refused to participate in the loan modification program the government was sponsoring?

Couldn’t agree with you more. The worst is the March on Wall Street all got thrown in jail here in San Francisco!

I use BOA as well and I’m not happy about this either. It makes no sense that they’d do this! Merchants are already paying a fee for accepting credit cards and debit cards with a logo. So to me they are double dipping!

I stopped having anything to do with BofA long ago. Chase was the bank that put the screws to me and enlightened me to what we average citizens can expect from big banks. That is why I appreciate the little town bank here. I also stopped using credit cards a few years ago; I do have a debit card. I am so sorry you are feeling the corporate vise. I fear this is only the beginning of the banks that got bailed out to find ways for their greed to stifle the people with the least money.

In reply to Classic NYer. It just occurred to me that I sound like I'm being satirical, but I'm really f-ing angry about that shit.

Oh, man, I’m so livid at that bull shit! I hope everyone who has a BOA account closes it. In fact, I was thinking of opening a BOA account so that I could close it in protest. Jackasses…

Sadly, I will never be rid of BoA, as we already owe them our first grandchild. However, I cut up the card a long time ago and try to pay more than the minimum every month. I support you 100%–It’s way too easy to find a bank that doesn’t charge you like that. If I win, I’m donating the money back to you, so keep it! 🙂

I heard about this…..and it is absolutely ridiculous!! Even Amscot (which is only a half step away from a payday loan place!) only charges 75cents. If I was with BoA, I would definitely leave!

I agree with you. Hubby and I already said if we banked with Bank of America we would close our account. Its just another ploy for them to get more money.

I hate BANK OF AMERICA with passion! I banked with them for 25 LONG years. I had all my business, personal, CD, Money market accounts, line of credit, credit cards, YOU NAME IT and for being 2 days late on my business credit card, they went into my account and took out $900! The next day, I closed EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY ACCOUNTS! Went to a smaller bank, with personal service, been there 4 years!
