My last attempt at using a 15% cb bankamerideal at Newegg failed. The cb never posted, so I returned the item. Lots of problems getting the cb are listed in this expired deal thread:

Bankamerideals, if you can get them to work at all, are typically online only.

They work like a cash back website. You have to access the site from their link and keep the right referral info in your browser, then buy, and pay with your BofA credit card.

I haven't had much luck with them. I typically use a different cash back website.

BankAmerideals didn't pay me for the AT&T $75 cashback once.

I called the credit card 1800 number and ask about it.
The tier 1 customer service guy didn't handle it correctly.
This cashback comes from the merchant, not BofA.
And about 2 months later, I got a mail that asks me to call BofA again.
This time it was a different number. A direct line phone call.
They asked me what went wrong. I told them I acted in a good faith and did this deal correctly on my part. A contract is a contract. I should be paid.
BofA looked into my credit card transaction history and found that AT&T borke one transaction into two for some reason that I still dont know. And this action void the cashback.
BofA agreed that I should get paid and wrote another report on their side and I waited 14 days and got my $75 at&t cashback.

Overall it was a bad experience but I did get paid in the end. It just took more than 2 hours on the phone call. And I didn't get paid for these two hours. And after all day of work, I dont feel like I have the "free two hours" to deal with this crap.

----------------------------------------------------------------
But anyway, I am thinking about buying $66.67 newegg giftcard to get 15% cashback which is $10 cashback. I haven't read the fine print yet not sure if giftcard is OK.
----------------------------------------------------------------

BofA is a great bank for the people who have $100000 or more assets with them. Their extra 75% cashback bonus is amazing. It turns a typical 3% cashback credit card into 5.25% cashback. This beats most of the cashback credit cards on the market right now.

But BofA is very mean and bad for poor people. The poor people pay the most in $$ and get the least out of it.

Can you be more precise?

I use BofA/Merrill for my IRA, local checking, representative payee checking, and credit card. Have platinum honors status.

Pretty happy in general. Bank amerideals kinda suck and are useless, but BofA/Merrill fees are reasonable and competitive with online brokers and banks. But, unlike an online broker, I can make an appointment for local face to face support. I've done that a couple times and they've always been good and helpful.

I still don't use them for things they suck at, like savings accounts and CDs (I go elsewhere for that), but I've generally had good experience with them.
I agree with you, but also agree with the other poster in one way. Two of my local BoA haven't been keeping up with the times. They're located in brand new buildings (built within the last couple years) in high traffic areas. However, they still require the use of paper forms for deposit.

Like WTF??!!!

I ain't got time for that. I understand they have a lot of older clients, but we are soon going into 2025 with self-driving cars and digital ID's.

Sony announced that the game is officially being shut down due to poor sales, so I would try to get a refund while you still can.

I only made one purchase, which never made it to pending.

What I don't understand is why BankAmerideals has to use the referrer information like a CB website. They have you credit card record and can prove you made a purchase from Newegg without it. That's how most AMEX cashback deals work.

I understand it for third party cb sites - they don't have your credit card record, so it's they only way they can track the purchase.
True, and if they don't fix their system soon people will go back to established cb sites. I guess everybody wants a bite of the cb money, most of my banks are competing in this space now. Tomorrow is the last day for my appeal period (they said 7-10 days turnaround) so I'll either know what happened with that 1 order or I'll be bothering them again on Tuesday. Denying my appeal would be insanity given that they approved 2 identical orders and have full access to transaction data, as you said.

I used to Bank of America over 15 years. Had a small business account with them.
BoA would:
delay processing of deposited checks until balance goes into minus then slap you with $50 overdraft fees
OD fees would be charged consecutively for every transaction thereafter.

This was done intentionally and BoA got fined something they didn't care because they'd already made 10 times what they'd been penalized. It was some time ago but I'm never going back to these scumbags. People responsible moved on to other banks after they got caught but apparently kept at their scams cuz Wells Fargo just got caught making new accounts and credit cards with client information.

I understand.

I'm the same way with Chrysler, even though they went bankrupt, got a government bailout, and were sold more than once since my PT cruiser warranty incident.

I've never done business checking with BofA, but the technology has come a long way. Now I just shove checks into the ATM, it scans them and gives me a dated receipt with images on the spot. Never tried it in bulk though.

It's an intentional scam by senior executives or bigwigs at Bank of America.
It's been going on for decades.

They got caught again and fined 100 million last year apparently. Banks don't care about these penalties because they make way more.

Just an update: got my 4th cashback deal manually fixed by BoA after submitting quick appeal through chat (they said up to 14 business days, took 11 for me). So while there are hiccups in their new system at least they're honoring the terms and I think the more competition there is in the cashback space, the better for us

Would it work on a PlayStation gift card?
Ditto. The T&Cs say nothing about gift cards being excluded. So it should work. Can anyone confirm?

EDIT: Probably won't work for playstation.com giftcards. The Playstation site redirects you to cashstar. So I'm willing to bed BoA won't honor that. Better use it on another vendor. For example,
you can grab a Sony giftcard from Gamestop, as a workaround if that's what you're after.
