Even I have the same thought!! Is it worth to convert to unlimited 1.5% cb from single category 3 %?🤔
That's... pretty interesting....
I'd be sure and keep a copy of that if you take the offer
(which I would- I do have the travel card but never use it after having gotten its own signup-- this conversion would get me a SUB without a new account/hard pull AND let me ditch the premium rewards card that forced me to find value in the airline credit to keep getting 2.625% cash back on non-cat purchases)
I really should open one of these. Heavily invested in the bank of America ecosystem already. I get 5% back across multiple categories. This would be a great addition for flat rate cash back, but I already have a 2% card. Not sure it's worth a credit pull to get a little more

My college freshman daughter needs a credit card, I was to get this offer. The unlimited travel card has 25,000 points bonus offer and no foreign exchange fees, so I opted for the travel card.

the only difference for most people, that Travelcard - you can only redeem the points against travel expenses, plus no foreign exchange fees.
I have the travel card, that red cash card (with bonus category) - I might as well get this one at some point. Basically use this for most purchases with Preferred Reward - and just use the travel card, if i need it for foreign transactions/vacation.
Folks, I have a question for those willing to help!
I'm in the market for a 2%+ every day spending card as we don't travel and I have categories covered already. I'd be a brand new BoA client; have no relationship with them currently. I do have $100k I can move to Merrill Edge (taxable brokerage account)
It seems that to qualify for the Platinum Honors (or any "rank" in the Preferred Rewards), you need 3 months of history right? So for me, this would be a simple 1.5% card until I've had the $100k there for 3 months?
Terms and conditions for the Preferred Rewards system also require a BoA checking account (which I wouldn't use).
Does anyone know if BoA will instantly bump you to platinum if you transfer the $100k as a new client?

nope. need to wait 3 months.
and their brokerage accounts aren't great. people complain about fees, hard to use, .etc.
The best is if you can move a retirement account. Something where you don't actively trade.

Thanks. I figured, still not a bad deal.
Luckily in this account I just hold an S&P500 ETF and don't do much beyond the occasional buy in.
One more question... anyone have advice on if it's better to start with the card or better to start with the checking account + Merrill Edge transfer? Or does it not matter?

FWIW I'm not necessarily a day trader, but I do trade moderately often (including in my IRA) and I don't find their fees any different than most brokers.
The software is... fine? Not awesome- but the only thing really lacking compared to others is you can't assign specific tax lots when you get exercised on sold call options online... you have to either call them to do it, or for folks with 100k+ accounts you'll have a personal banker type person you can email to do it.
I've been waiting 3 weeks to receive this card so called in today (I HATE calling BofA)---they said it was just sent out today. So it will take a month to get my card, making my 0% offer worth less? Wtf? BofA is the WORST. Their website is absolute CRAP and they have no way to contact anyone via chat or email that I can see. At least the person I talked to today wasn't incompetent for once...
I see lots of hate here. I am on the minority maybe but BofA's app is pretty clean. Merrill Edge could be wonky for constant day trader but they are fine. I have not paid any fees in trading major ETFs or well known stocks.
If you are a preferred reward member (even at platinum tier-2nd tier of 50,000 USD or above in savings/checking/edge), this beats any other cash back cards out there with cashback of 2.25%.
That all being said, even at 15000 spending, 2.625% would yield 393.75 compared to 300 of 2% (other competitors like Wells Fargo, PayPal, Citi). This is 93.75 difference.. something to think about.
This is no brainer for folks who are already in BofA ecosystem, however.

Why would it be worthless? Its 15-18 months 0 APR?
