You’ll notice no mention of the $79 annual fee that card carriers charge. Some readers have been successful in getting this full refund, even the annual fee was charged some time ago. Unfortunately at this time it seems you have to call and then go to a supervisor to get a refund. I still hope that Bank of America will do the right thing by these cardholders and offer them all an annual fee refund, but in the meantime you can always call.
