NFL Extra Points to expire 8/31

How are the pregame sideline passes? How long do they let you stay out there prior to the game... just a few minutes or for awhile?

Looks like my Patriots BOA credit card will be going from my wallet to
the desk drawer.

I will use it only to pay for my tickets.

Glad I got my 2nd pair of Season Tickets before they dropped the program.

Moves like this sometimes portend things like a complete break in the business relationship. Maybe then we'll be able to use a Master Card to pay for our tickets! :rocker:

I went to the SD Sunday night game in 2007. It was the first game after the SpyGate bruhaha, so they issued all of the Patriots sideline passes to the media. So instead of having us on the Patriots sidenline before the game we were on the SD sideline. If I am remebering correctly they let us on the field an hour or two before kickoff. We had to stay in a designated area off the sidelines, I think it was between the 20 and the 40. I got to talk quite a bit with Andrea Kremer and got a pic taken with her which was pretty cool.

All in all it was a good experience for 20,000 points.

I thought this event was awsome.

They let you on the field a good hour or so before kick off so you get to see the whole warm up. You have to go back to seats for the pregame ceremonies which was fine by me as I wanted to be in my seat for kickoff.

Other than the proximity to the players and standing on the sideline there isn't much to it. But just to be that close to the guys and watch them run around close up and to get some good pictures is really really cool.

The card will be back, possibly even before kickoff 2010, but it will be run by Barclay's Bank instead of Bank of America. Sounds like they'll offer comparable rewards:

Deal would see Barclays issue NFL credit cards

FYI - For those looking for experiences to redeem their points for before they expire - next June's dinner with Belichick is available on the Bank of America page as of today.

Thanks for the idea, I was saving for that, but they are 50k points and sold out anyway.

Here is some of the stuff I was looking at. What do you guys think? I do need to decorate my man cave so maybe this is a good time to cash out anyway.

Autographed SB poster (one of top 10 players) - 17,650
Game worn gloves (no specific player mentioned) - 13,650
SB 39 panoramic poster - 3,300
Randy Moss autographed Football - 35,000
Authentic helmet (no autograph) - 33,050
Game worn Cleat (no specific player mentioned) - 21,600
Mayo Authentic Jersey - 31,850
Vinatieri Autographed replica jersey - 17,550

I'd get the Randy Moss autographed Football. That will be a great keepsake -- and increase in value (and scarcity) after Moss leaves the Pats after this year.

Reviving this old thread here; wondering if anyone has done any of the experiences so far this season? This Sunday is finally the day I get to do the VIP media event. Already got my media parking pass and details of the day. I'll be taking plenty of pics and will post how it went after.
Also, did anyone sign up for the Barclay's card? Are they the same type of rewards/experiences? Can't access the reward catalog without having an account.

I have not signed up for the new card yet but not sure what I am waiting for.

My final event of the old program is a week from sunday when me and 11 friends get to go into the club suite area and watch the Chargers game. You are allowed to go out into the club seating area and watch on the jumbo tron too. Should be a fun time. I heard on the Radio there is a charity event that day and a bunch of patriot alumni will be there though it is possible we are not in the same club suite area.
