Was looking for a new catch-all credit card since Priceline rewards Visa is ending 7/2 and ran into this:
Bank of America Unlimited Cash rewards now offers 1.5% + 0.5% bonus, in addition as a preferred rewards member you get anywhere from 25% - 75% boost to the 1.5% non bonus portion only, max benefit is 3.12% on ANY purchase for a year.
Bank of America Customized Cash rewards now offers 3% + 3% bonus, in addition as a preferred rewards member you get anywhere from 25% - 75% boost to the 3% non bonus portion only, max benefit is 8.25% on a category purchase for a year.
Sign up bonus is spend $1000 in 90 days to get $200 back.
After a year the bonus cash back portions drop off but in my opinion still good cards after this.

First gen smartly visa is uncapped still, its grandfathered in. Probably for at least another couple years
Second gen is bad cause the 100k has to be in checkings account. It cant be in investment account anymore

If you have any old 401k from previous employers lying around with 100k+ balance, transfer that to a Merrill Edge rollover IRA using this offer: https://www.merrilledge

Link your Merrill account to your BofA banking (checking/savings/credit card) accounts.

Wait for ~3 months for preferred rewards status to kick in.

Apply for these special offers to your hearts content and enjoy the bonus cash back + many other Preferred Rewards perks. Basically never pay any fees for any banking service ever again. Merrill also has $0 trading fees.
Unusual example, you can get up to two fee-free international wire transfers. that has saved me a $45 fee when I had to do one urgently.
I have Preferred Rewards status through a rollover IRA like this. So I know this works.

It lands on "An application error has occurred. If the problem persists, Please contact Help Desk."
Thanks!
Edit: It's the period at the end of your link that causes it to fail. Here's a working link:

Edit 2: The offer has tiers:
$250 for $100K
$600 for $200K
Edit 3: Googling found quite a few other Merrill Edge offers; many better than this one.
Wondering if they will let me get a second one and have this bonus for a year.
100k in Merrill invest in blackrock fixed income with get you close to 5 percent. Which will get you the 2.625.

But you have to rollover 200K to get the $600.
