Does Affinion Loyalty Group Inc or Bank of America had the right to close my account without notification and without my approval? I spoke to both and they claim that a letter from BOA was sent out with the notification that the points had to be used by Nov 15th. We did not receive the letter nor did we recieve any emails or alerts of the change. I have been a card holder for 9 years and 11 months and have accumulated about 50,000 points which amounts to about $400 worth of gift cards. I went to cash those in yesterday only to learn that they closed my account. EliteRewards did not send me a statement after June and should have sent a Sept statement. This would have been their opportunity to share the news as well. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Update<\/b> – I just dug up another similar complaint from my inbox!<\/p>\n
I was very disturbed today to find out my points on my elite rewards card ending in 3203 which I have been using since had been extinguished in Nvember of this year with no opportuntiy to transfer to this new platinum plus card ending in 4482 that B\/A activated without my consent on 10\/30 because of some conversion. So not only did I forfeit my points accumaulated over 7 years I found out this new card was already opened when I went to activate it.<\/p>\n
Not happy.
\nMichael Tormey<\/p><\/blockquote>\nAll I can say is that I suspect BOA have consolidated their Elite Rewards under their WorldPoints rewards. Even then, they should have rolled his points over to the new program. And I’m pretty sure that under their “fineprints”, they will say they reserve the right to do s**t like that. But this really sucks. Has anyone faced this problem and got your points back? We would like to hear your stories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
