Can’t Balance transfer on my new Bank of America Platinum card?
balance transfer, Bank of America Platinum, 0% APR, credit card onboarding, digital banking friction
User approved for BOFA Platinum card with 2-year 0% APR balance transfer offer but cannot complete transfer online within first 14 hours Account appears in BOFA app but balance transfer option is disabled — no explanation given in interface or confirmation materials Post reflects real-time friction between advertised promotional terms and actual digital onboarding capability
Emphasizes procedural inevitability (‘cards take time to activate fully’) while minimizing BOFA’s responsibility for aligning advertised promotions with functional availability at point of account creation.
User-facing friction as transitional phase — not a broken promise or operational gap.
A Bank of America Platinum cardholder couldn’t do a balance transfer immediately after approval.
No mention of whether phone-based or branch-assisted balance transfers are available; No reference to BOFA’s official timeline expectations for feature activation post-approval; No indication if terms & conditions disclose delayed functionality
The story redirects attention toward process, intent, scale, mission, or future benefits instead of unresolved concerns. Watch for loaded terms such as pulled the trigger, bamboozled. The distribution reads as user support seeking. A pressure point: No mention of whether phone-based or branch-assisted balance transfers are available.

My question, I was approved roughly 14-ish hours ago. And my account was added to my BOFA app. However, when I logged into the app. Then online, it said I can’t do an online balance transfer on my account?
