Bank of America Will Figure It Out....One Day



So I just saw a commercial for Bank of America and some fraud protection program they have or something else that I didn't care about. And as I had seen in previous Bank of America commercials, they had a gaffe that is perennially annoying. I went in search of the video for it online and could not find it but instead happened upon this commercial instead. Lo and behold, B of A has been making this mistake since at least 2008 as they made it here too!

Bank of America loves to show people in their commercials using their debit/credit cards....and EVERY single time they do so, the person swiping it swipes the part of the card without the magnetic strip! Yes, I understand that this is done so that the card is legible and not upside down when you see it used in the commercial, but I don't care.

I think Bank of America's fraud protection program is designed to make non-Bank of America customers think you swipe your card upside down....therefore credit card thieves will be baffled when they try to swipe it to no avail.

Sorry Bank of America, the secret is out.
