After XXXX years and never seeing any credits to my accounts for the cash back I called to inquire. The representative said that the cash back is in the form of points.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of 2023 I had made a purchase at a XXXX in XXXX WA, with my XXXX XXXX credit card ( Bank of America ) and lost my card somewhere between the self checkout stand and going to my car. There was a charge after for {$230.00} from the same XXXX and a 3rd charge to the same store that was blocked. Continual charges in the amount of {$2.00}, {$26.00}, and {$4.00} were made in XXXX and XXXX totaling {$270.00}. The credit card company alerted me which was how I noticed the charges and that I no longer had my credit card. None of the transactions were reimbursed and I ended up having to pay for fraudulent charges. These charges were made XXXX miles from where I live and work throughout my workweek. I also do not make multiple purchases in the same store as I presume most people do not do, but regardless that was overlooked. I believe I was not reimbursed because I did not see the alert regarding my account until after a couple of days later. I have not made any purchases on this credit card since this happened as I dont feel safe making transactions. 
Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I called the credit card company to close my account and there was an offer to reopen the fraudulent case but I still feel this should be reported. 

Thank you for your time, XXXX
