Narrative (may be redacted).

Hello and thanks ahead of time for reading and/or offering any help.
The story begins with a trip to XXXX XXXX. My wife and I had decided to take a trip XXXX and about three days into being in the country I got news that my credit card was compromised. Here I am, with my now-useless travel rewards card. So much for no foreign transaction fees.
I call up Bank of America and ask them about what I can do. They offer to send me a new card but I 'm out of luck because my wife and I have to keep moving. We were hiking a trail and had to be certain places on certain days. No time to wait around and have a card delivered.
I told Bank of America that I would n't bother and I 'd just use cash. They offered to waive my foreign transaction fees on my other credit card. They could n't change the terms, but they would put a note in my account and if I called up they would credit my account for the cost of the fees.
The first month was annoying but alright. I called up they said it could n't be done, they led me around to supervisors until they dropped my call. I then called again ( immediately after ) and the first rep I talked to credited my account no problem. I had also been notified that I did n't need to call every month and that I could simply call up once when I got back to the XXXX.
Now, here we are, 3 months later and I 'm back home in the XXXX with some time to call up BofA. The rep refuses to credit my account, says I agreed to the terms and conditions and that I agreed to fees. I explain the story, she says I ca n't be credited. She transfers me to a XXXX. I talk to the XXXX, same story. She tells me she see the note but the first time was a courtesy and they could n't do it again. I ask for someone higher up, they give me the run-around and say there is n't anyone else available.
BofA lied to me. They took my money through fees that they promised to reimburse me. I only have some minor details recorded of who I talked to and when those conversations took place, but none of this is helping me. I feel helpless and quite frankly, used.
