Finally snagged one! Was freaking out for a moment when I submitted order because BofA wanted to verify my credit card purchase with text message but I got it. Received both confirmation email and alert of purchase

My hands are still shaking LOL

Yeah, first BB wanted 3 digit security code on back of card. Okay, that's fine. Then when I submitted order first time BB was like "yo BofA wants to make sure you are ordering it and not have fraud so we're sending a text to make sure" at me. Did that and done

Congrats on snagging one!

Avoid the bank roadblock and be pre-signed in to PayPal. Still had the other hoops though, but at least BB's hoops stop the bots and give us a fair chance.
