Let's discuss the downgrade options for Bank of America cards.

Downgrade Rules for Bank of America Credit Cards

• Same Family: Bank of America allows downgrades across different card families. You can downgrade any Bank of America card to another, including product changes from co-branded cards (e.g., Alaska, Virgin Atlantic) to Bank of America-branded cards (e.g., Cash Rewards, Travel Rewards).
• Personal to Business: You can only downgrade personal cards to other personal cards. Business cards cannot be downgraded, though most do not carry an annual fee.
• Rewards: You will not lose any rewards when downgrading a Bank of America credit card.
• Timeframe: Bank of America cards can be downgraded at any time, even within the first 12 months.
• Credit Score: Downgrading a credit card will not negatively affect your credit score.
• Annual Fee Refund: Officially, refunds for annual fees are handled on a case-by-case basis, depending on your relationship with the bank. However, in practice, Bank of America typically refunds the annual fee if you downgrade or close the card within 30-45 days.
