Hmmm...seems like BofA may be drawing the noose tighter around the neck of our beloved Billpay Choice. My guess is that BofA had to honor the contracts that MBNA had with affiliates like LL Bean, Schwab and Merrill. I have Schwab and Merrill cards and they both still have Billpay choice. My other MBNA card that was converted to BofA also still has Billpay choice even though I opened a BofA checking account a while ago.

Have you had a statement cut since July 1 or do you have other BoA credit cards which may be enabling Bill Pay Choice access for all of your cards? My access worked fine until the July statement was cut.

Like others, my billpay is gone. Nobody on the phone could tell me whether previously scheduled payments would be made or not, and nobody seemed to understand why I needed to know whether my bills would be paid or not.

Has anyone had a payment go through since their billpay disappeared? Otherwise i need to start scrambling to pay my credit card, mortgage, etc, by other means! thanks.

More info would be great. How did you originally access Billpay choice (through FIA cardservices or BofA.com)? Did you recently open any new accounts (credit or checking) with BofA before you lost access to Billpay?

Thanks. So it looks confirmed that all LL Bean card holders will lose Billpay choice after a card conversion from BofA. I'm quite surprised that I still have Billpay choice on my old MBNA card that was converted to a vanilla BofA card after the merger. I also still have Billpay on my Schwab and Merrill cards that I access through FIA cardservices. It seems that if BofA dropped the affiliation with either of these brokerages, then Billpay choice would probably get the axe as well. Thanks for the updates everyone.

So it looks confirmed that all LL Bean card holders will lose Billpay choice after a card conversion from BofA.

Looks confirmed to who, how? Mine still works as of this moment, knock wood. Y'all are jumping to conclusions, but that's SOP for this thread.

edit: I log in through www.ibsnetaccess.com

All my BofA/Fidelity/CS cards are ok with BillPay (credit card version).

It looks like BillPay "may" disappear whenever there is a "Delta" (i.e., some kind of change) either initiated from the bank or the cardholder.

Just from the fact that 3+ individuals have had it happen to them in the recent past.

I just got off the phone with a CS rep. They told me they are getting a lot of calls complaining about this change and the loss of billpay choice. He told me that they are working on a possible solution to return the service, (he called it migrate the account back to the billpay choice system). He said he would add my account to a list of accounts to be migrated. I am not really putting much hope in it happening but you never know... He did also say he could still access the system and all payments that were scheduled before the change will still be honored. I asked him to list them for me and he was able to do so. Bummer I did not finish scheduling my payments before the change! The number I called was specific to online banking/billpay, not the general access number- the number was 18008875749 choose option 2.

So the evidence that supports your bias is relevant, and the evidence which does not is to be disregarded. Okeydokie.

hmm not sure if you're trolling or not. The evidence which does not support my "bias" was not disregarded, just outweighted by the evidence that does.
