BofA Travel Card the Best Deal Out There for Platinum Honors BofA Depositors
by
Anonymous
1 year ago
"

I think that this "travel card" (which I have) is actually the best "cash back" card out there at 2.63% on every charge you make. While good at 1.5%, you only hit that 2.63% "cash back" level IF you happen to have the right profile: (1) you keep at least $100k at BofA or Merrill Lynch, (2) travel (or use hotels) even a bit, and (3) are happy to take your "cash back" as a statement credit. Although redemption isn't automatic, I just tickle in my calendar to take my rewards at least once annually. You can apply your "points" to your past 1 year's broadly defined "travel" charges that include all parking, hotels, air fares, travel agency fees, taxis, etc. (whether local or not). So, if you charge $5k per month on your card, you would need to bill $1,575 per year on all so-called "travel" to be able to get your 2.63% reward. I also have the 2 other best "cash back" cards I've found both at 2% (Citi Double Cash MasterCard & Fidelity Rewards Visa). As to major airline travel cards, I think Nerd Wallet shows Delta's as having the opportunity for over a 2.63% recovery on the dollar at 3.2%, but the card has a fee and 3.2% is only available for "some" foreign travel. I personally don't do travel overseas enough to be sure to benefit. Although the above review confirms that Platinum Honors BofA clients get $262.50 back on $10k spending, I don't think it adequately notes how much like a "cash back" card this is and that no higher percentage recoveries are available if you meet the right profile.

Late fee - no one time waiver / No flight rewards

I've used BoA for about a year now and have paid in full every single time. This month, I accidentally let the due date pass. I called customer service and after 20 minutes, got to talk to a guy who was curt and refused to do a one-time waiver of the $25 fee. I also never got any flight rewards in spite of buying 3 international tickets worth $3,000 a few months ago. The second customer service rep I talked to said she cannot do anything because the first customer rep I talked to - aka BoA GOD - made the decision. Go with any other credit card company if you want better service and flexibility. I find American Express, PNC, Chase and credit unions to be way better than Bank of America.

The Card Sucks!!

THe current bonus is capped to 1.5 miles per dollar spend whereas there are many cards with no annual fee giving 3% on Travel and airlines spend like UBER VISA.. And the worst of all is the Bank of America Travel center where they get the worst deals on the flight CAUTION: do not trust the prices on travel center they are the lowest possible options and the seats rejected by airlines. If you are looking for travel always book thru Airlines.the only thing I liked about this card is it gives 1.5 miles for all transactions.

Awesome travel card

I lived abroad and traveled abroad with this card and its fabulous. I also had my limit increased a year after I got it, so I'm not sure why other people did not get that. I love getting points for everything and no foreign transaction fees was a big yes for me!

Own it for 2 years, points never expire and can be used for anything travel related including parking charges! No hassle, no annual fees and very simple to manage through the bank app. Best part, US based customer service!

About creditcardtw

About three-quarters of Americans have at least one credit card,In fact, the average person has 3.4 cards. But whether you have a wallet full of plastic or have never charged a purchase in your life, you should know how to apply for a credit card the right way when the time comes. getting approved for a credit card requires proactive planning that should start long before you apply. That's why creditcardtw born, we aim to help you to find the right credit card, and then successfully apply a credit card.

How To Apply For A Credit Card

Credit card applications are straightforward, but you'll need to meet some minimum financial requirements to get approved for the best credit card offers. Learn how to apply for a credit online and what to expect after you click submit.

  • Knowing your credit score and what's on your credit report can help you determine what products to apply for. If you have fair credit, for example, you may not want to apply for a card that clearly states that only applicants with excellent credit will be approved.
  • If you don't have good credit, you may find it difficult to get approved for a card with a large sign-up bonus and a lucrative reward structure. Each credit card application ends up on your credit report, so the Nerds recommend using our credit cards comparison tool to find a card that fits your credit profile before applying.
  • If the card allows balance transfers, you may request to have balances transferred from other credit card accounts to the new card.
  • To apply for a credit card in the US, you’ll need a valid Social Security number and a positive credit history. The best rewards credit cards may require at least three to five years of good credit history, and some more than seven.
