NEW YORK — The National Football League’s decision to move its branded credit card business from Bank of America to British banker Barclays is forcing customers to scramble to spend reward points before they expire next month.
On message boards, fans are discussing how they’ll spend their points in Bank of America’s “NFL Extra Points’’ program. They have until the end of August, just before Barclays’ new program begins in September.
Fans can get a one-hour appearance from the Denver Broncos mascot Miles for 40,000 points, Pittsburgh Steelers head rest covers for 3,250 points, or replica team jerseys for 10,400 points. Fans also can buy “experiences’’ such as visiting the field before the game. A point typically equals $1 spent on the card.
