and then what? even if they did change their brand name, they'll still act the same way.

I hope you aren't serious. Remember how Bank of America reversed their decision on the 5$ fee they were planning to impose, when people started moving their money to community banks? the only way to make these big businesses budge on anything is to take your business elsewhere.

Meh, they are just going to move that $5 fee somewhere else. And it will likely be somewhere much less transparent.

Nothing was won against BoA, they just pushed the fee someplace harder to find.
