How to Pay Bank of America Credit Card Balance?
I just jumped through 8 million hoops and 3 layers of verification simply trying to get to a human at Bank of America…and that was frustrating…but not nearly as frustrating as the fact that I was just told I can no longer pay another person’s Bank of America credit card bill online. This is for an elderly person who does not have access to online banking, so I can’t “link the accounts” through their tortured process, and it’s complete insanity to me that they’ll let me MAIL IN a check to that account, but won’t let me pay it via online bill pay through my own account. Bank of America sucks.
When I click PAY under my credit card balance, I see the following:
“You don't have an account that can be used with Bill Pay. You'll need to open a Bank of America checking or Money Market savings account to get started.”
I can’t find any way to add my (non-BofA) checking account and simply pay the balance.
I just got the card a few weeks ago, and I do not yet have a payment. Will I possibly receive an option to add my checking account when my payment is due? Or do I have to open a BofA checking account to pay my credit card?
