Bank of America is offering 25,000 online bonus points after you spend at least $1,000 on purchases in the first 90 days of account opening - that can be a $250 statement credit toward travel purchases - with their Bank of America® Travel Rewards credit card. No Annual fee.

Card Details:
  • Earn unlimited 1.5 points per $1 spent on all purchases, with no annual fee and no foreign transaction fees and your points don't expire as long as your account remains open.
  • 25,000 online bonus points after you make at least $1,000 in purchases in the first 90 days of account opening - that can be a $250 statement credit toward travel purchases.
  • Use your card to book your trip how and where you want - you're not limited to specific websites with blackout dates or restrictions.
  • Redeem points for a statement credit to pay for travel or dining purchases, such as flights, hotel stays, car and vacation rentals, baggage fees, and also at restaurants including takeout.
  • 0% Intro APR for 15 billing cycles for purchases, and for any balance transfers made in the first 60 days. After the Intro APR offer ends, a Variable APR that’s currently 18.24% - 28.24% will apply. A 3% Intro balance transfer fee will apply for the first 60 days your account is open. After the Intro balance transfer fee offer ends, the fee for future balance transfers is 4%.
  • If you're a Bank of America Preferred Rewards® member, you can earn 25%-75% more points on every purchase. That means instead of earning an unlimited 1.5 points for every $1, you could earn 1.87-2.62 points for every $1 you spend on purchases.
  • Contactless Cards - The security of a chip card, with the convenience of a tap.
  • This online only offer may not be available if you leave this page or if you visit a Bank of America financial center. You can take advantage of this offer when you apply now.

Quote from bonestamp :
I have avoided BoA credit cards because they used to issue me a new card at least once/year due to fraud and I'd often have to phone them to get transactions to go through (especially airline tickets). I haven't had this problem with any other card issuer. Have you had a similar experience with this card?
Yep. They used to be pretty paranoid - blocking card while abroad and sometimes even while traveling within the US. They improved by starting asking confirmations via text messaging and I haven't experienced any such problems in the past decade or so.

yep with merrill edge, just put your cash in the TTTXX mutual funds, 5.25% APY
or buy any three month tbill and get 5.4% and you can sell at any time if you need to. BofA never had any good deals. I moved enough cash out of them to go from platinum to gold status, made money in the process and never looked back on their weak benefits.

I have been using this card with 2.62% back, with platinum premium or whatever tier its called.

Its the highest cash back, no annual fees, no foreign transaction fees.

I am planning to move all my cash from Bank of america checking/savings to fidelity brokerage account for 4.99$ APR. So now my cash back will drop from 2.62% to 1.5%. I have citi bank with 2% cash back. Wondering if there are any other cards with more than 2% cash back with no annual fee?
get the fidelity visa and it's 2% CB into your fidelity account.

So can you not call Customer service and request a check for the cash back/bonus points?

No foreign transaction fees is good but do we need to intimate the bank about the region we're planning to visit?

Now they do have autopay in the amount of your statement balance! I agree it was super annoying to do manual payments until they finally implemented that though. It made no sense to only have minimum payment and preset amount autopay options...

Have they made it easier to sign up for autopay? I canceled my BoA card last year, because there was no easy way to sign up for autopsy. And I guess it's deliberate, as they make a lot of money on late fees.

I think so! Both my BoA cards have been on autopay for a while now with no issues. I don't recall it being difficult to set up, and customer service is available 24/7 to walk you through it.

Quote from kugel :
Just curious why not BoA brokerage (Merrill), you could do brokerage things and keep your high cashback.

I am considering a move in the opposite direction, just not sure all the work is worth the trouble.

Positive thing is any funds you have in Merrill counts toward boosting your reward tier with BofA. The Merrill platform is pretty bad though if you do a lot of trading. If you just hold investments long term it's not a big deal.

Most companies do that if you don't use your card for that long.
