I have carried a Bank of America XXXX for two decades. I have a {$25000.00} credit limit, which I never approach. I pay every monthly balance in full and on time, and have never had an interest or late payment fee. About once or twice a year, a " hold '' is placed on my account for reasons which are never explained. After hassles XXXX as detailed in the attached materials ), the holds are removed. I am asked to review recent charges, and these have always been from local vendors or individuals with whom we do business regularly. I have complained about this regularly, and am simply told that BOA is trying to protect me from fraud, and that they can not share the reasons for which the holds were placed. 
Most recently, I have had three such holds in the past few weeks, including XXXX in a 24 hour period. I have pleaded for an explanation, and have simply been told the same thing : BOA monitors cards and places holds for various reasons which they can not share. 

I should probably just replace this card ; I have another card ( XXXX XXXX XXXX which I use for business and some travel, and have never had such an experience. In fact, I sometimes use that card when my XXXX is declined. The problem with replacement, beyond the hassle it would create, is that by applying for such a high-limit card while another card is still active I would probably trigger an adverse credit report event. Thus, BOA has effectively trapped me in a situation where I have ongoing problems with their card, but can not get out of the card without suffering adverse consequences.
