When you apply for the exclusive HSUS credit card offered by Bank of America, you will be helping to support our life-saving programs for animals with every purchase.

Bank of America will provide The HSUS with 25 cents for every $100 in purchases you make with our exclusive card. And, as a bonus, for each card account opened and activated through this email, Bank of America will provide an additional $50 to The Humane Society of the United States after you make qualifying transactions.§

Thanks to the more than 50,000 supporters who are already Humane Society cardholders, this program has already generated hundreds of thousands of dollars for our animal protection programs. Imagine if we had one million cardholders! We would be able to put more dollars into programs to combat animal fighting, to promote spaying and neutering, and to crack down on abusive puppy mills.

But you'll get more out of this than the knowledge you are helping animals and The HSUS -- with the Humane Society credit card, you'll earn WorldPoints® rewards for cash, travel, and merchandise. Every dollar in purchases equals one point. Plus, you'll receive a low introductory APR± offer and there's no annual fee.

Log on to Bank of America's secure website to apply today.

This is an amazing opportunity for us, and I hope you'll seize it. It's a painless and easy way to help us help animals.

Thank you for all you do for animals.

Sincerely,

Wayne Pacelle
President & CEO
The Humane Society of the United States



Boo! To Bank of America!:(

The Bass Pro Shops card is issued through Bank of America. I am going to guess that BoA is in the business of issuing credit cards and is not too concerned with the politics of the associated organizations.

Yeah, you're probably right. Did BOA take the bailout? Do you know?

Isn't BOA the bank of choice for Ducks Unlimited as well ? Might be time to switch banks if it is. I won't bank with them if they are involved with HSUS, period. I would go so far as to accept one of those CC apps in th email and cancel my BOA. I will have to look and see who underwrites mine.

yeah 25 cents for every $100 purchase will help to put a stop to hunting, thats what they mean by animal life saving.

Fortunately BoA does not underwrite the Quality Deer Management Association Visa card, that is through UMB Financial Corporation.

I always thought that HSUS was a anti hunting association, not the humane society that stray cat & dog to.

Boo! To Bank of America!

I guess I missed this at the end. My sentiments exactly.

BOA will give a card to whoever will make them money... BPS, HSUS whoever, they do not care who lines their pockets, as long as they are lined... However, I would write BPS about the whole ordeal... IMO it is unacceptable to do business with someone who is against you

Boycott Bank of America if you value your hunting rights.

Boycott Bank of America if you value your hunting rights.


If you don't bank with them anyway, what are you recommending?

I would not and will not do business with either of these orgs. My love of hunting and fishing is too important to me.
