I had the bofa better balance rewards card for years and loved it. Free $120 a year basically. This year they canceled it and gave me a customized cash rewards card. I’ve been taking a look at their others cards and was disappointed. I might return when I have enough savings to get on their preferred rewards but for now I’m looking to get the Chase sapphire preferred.
How to be a preffered rewards member i have my 1st CC just lastweek and watching and learning about CCards work here on TH-cam, i already have savings account on BofA and have savings of 20k. Do i need to inquire to the bank about it or i will just received an email? Pls help thankyou!
We have Preferred Platinum Honors status, and so we get 5.25% on online purchases and on gas (with two CCR cards) and 2.625% on all other expenses (UCR card).
@@두부아빠-yjsI’ve heard you can get two identical ones with a 24 months gap between them, or that restriction does not apply if one of the cards is cobranded (like an alumni association or others).
I don’t understand how they are one of the top banks but there credit cards suck, why wouldn’t they have good credit cards? Wouldn’t it bring more revenue
Bank of America are one of the most aggressive in charging foreign transaction fees. If a company operating in the US has a foreign parent, ding, you're charged the extra 3% junk fee.
Starbucks is classified as a restaurant so any card that gets you 3% or more on restaurants (there are a bunch) is going to be a better card to use at Starbucks
Any insight on BoA’s approval rules? If you don’t have an existing banking relationship with them, are they inquiry sensitive, do they have a 5/24 or similar limit on new accounts?
Even if you’re a preferred rewards member, these are so mediocre. The sign up bonuses receive nothing from being a PR member, so unless you’re strictly looking for cash back, theres about 20-25 other cards that top all of these.
My plan is to eventually qualify for their bonus rewards program via my Roth IRA because there’s no way in the foreseeable future that I’m letting six figures just sit in my bank account
@@Brain_With_Limbs well, yes, if you know you’re not gonna use your money for an extended period, basically the worst thing you can do is leave it in your bank account, especially in a bank that doesn’t offer real amounts of interest on their savings accounts like BoA. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend CD’s either as the right savings account or especially treasury bills & notes may earn more still, but all of them are preferable to a BoA savings account. If it’s a long term investment, I’d say a balanced stock portfolio or the right real estate.
@@alexc2265 Ok, so I have $45k sitting in my Savings account. I agree its a waste I should put it into a CD, I'm looking for a good rate like 5% if thats possible?
If I didn't receive Bank of America credit card . I paid old payment $800. It's continue showing as I need to pay. Not have and not used fo 2 months . Show me like I spend on Last month , like I could make a payment . Very complicated ... Located bank near by is only one benefit .
PM, Funny last yr you stated they were the worst! I did drink the BOA CC Koolaid tho (BOA Customized Cash) - that 0% Interest for 18 Billing Cycles is a GEM. DATA Pts: TU Hard Pull/NY, Score 780, No Bank Relationship required. However, for Business CCs, a banking relationship IS required. These CC are only good for the 0% offers. Hope this helps.
I’d like to get this this cashback setup. I use Fidelity for my retirement assets with no complaints, so I really don’t want to switch platforms for an extra ~2% cashback
You dont have to transfer. Just move $100k. To merrill. You will get free checking accounts. I use it to transfer my points and watch the balance grow. Move it to a brokerage. This guy left out the 2% grocery and warehouse clubs. That 2% is 3.5%. So it's pretty simple. Red card for groceries clubs and meals. Problem is it has quarterly limits. Everything else on the premium rewards card rd. 2.62%.
Student councilor vp need them sent to locations in Chicagoland cps schools headquarters and charters headquarters two at same time thats all..... checkbooks ordering and updates with you up to principals and schools nurses redboxes.
If you're Platinum Honors, that's 2.625% cashback and if you use the travel credits, you're paid $5 to have the card. There's no one best card for everyone but this certainly can be a power card for many.
I laughed when I saw the BOA Premium Rewards Elite Card. You might as well get the CSR or the AMEX Platinum at that point. Unless you’re a preferred rewards member, these cards are worthless. The bonuses are terrible! It’s sad that BOA has such crappy credit cards! Even Wells Fargo has better cards and I hate Wells Fargo! 😂
@@richsamuel2922 I’m not sure if you realize this but you do know that there are way better cards out there and you can just link ur BOA checking to pay off the balances with other banks right?
@@MBbeme Some people (like me, a BofA Preferred Rewards member) just like simplicity in finance. Not everyone is a card churner or a full-time points maximizer.

My mom has customized cash rewards. Anything in an app counts as an online purchase, including scan and go and app paying at gas stations.

If you're a preferred member, they're some of the best on the market. If not, they're not great.
Accurate.

Can you get more than 1 CCR card?
@@두부아빠-yjs - I'm not sure. But in my case, the two cards are held by two different individuals.
@@두부아빠-yjsI’ve heard you can get two identical ones with a 24 months gap between them, or that restriction does not apply if one of the cards is cobranded (like an alumni association or others).
What if i just want to build my credit ? Is there any differences on cards ?
I don’t understand how they are one of the top banks but there credit cards suck, why wouldn’t they have good credit cards? Wouldn’t it bring more revenue
Does the money need to be parked or revolving

Starbucks is now offering 2% cash back on Starbucks purchases with your BofA Debit and Credit Cards! ✊
Starbucks is classified as a restaurant so any card that gets you 3% or more on restaurants (there are a bunch) is going to be a better card to use at Starbucks
@@johnt6806 Agree but some folks like co branded cards BofA could profit off this!
A lot of folks still use debit, so this is excellent for folks that do!
Any insight on BoA’s approval rules? If you don’t have an existing banking relationship with them, are they inquiry sensitive, do they have a 5/24 or similar limit on new accounts?
I only think the Customized Cash Rewards card is good. The rest of the BOA cards are inferior to other competitors such as American Express and Chase.
theyll make you come into a branch with identification to activate the cards
This will definitely be very useful to someone
Would I be a preferred member if I have my Walmart 401k plan through Merrill and have customized and unlimited 1.5 credit cards
Yes
Thanks for the great content.
What other travel credit card do you recommend
How can I get a credit card
Even if you’re a preferred rewards member, these are so mediocre. The sign up bonuses receive nothing from being a PR member, so unless you’re strictly looking for cash back, theres about 20-25 other cards that top all of these.
I love BOA. Have most of the cards, get zero interest promotion for 18 months every end of year
Great content as always, thanks Adam!!!
My plan is to eventually qualify for their bonus rewards program via my Roth IRA because there’s no way in the foreseeable future that I’m letting six figures just sit in my bank account
Why? aRE CD's better??

Thanks for the vid! I wanted to get into BOA credit cards
Why would you go to bofa. Use a credit union
If I didn't receive Bank of America credit card .
I paid old payment $800.
It's continue showing as I need to pay. Not have and not used fo 2 months .
Show me like I spend on Last month , like I could make a payment .
Very complicated ...
Located bank near by is only one benefit .
Are there any credit cards i can start using immediately before card arrives to pay monthly bill??
No because you need the card to arrive to know the card number and 3-digit code. Without the card, you can't use it online or on digital wallets
Amex will give you a temp number you can use once approved
quit crack bro
@@PimentaOP who you talking to
Decepticon . Anyways God bless
I love credit card
Just fyi bank of america pulled transunion in AL on 5 2 23
Free checks took offers looking for with a savings cards.
I don't now those one red or server
Does anyone have a recommendation for what they use when they shop on *Etsy* for cash back or points?
I don’t shop at Etsy, but I wonder if they are considered online retailer. If so, the Amex Blue Cash Everyday gives 3% cash back. No AF
Bank of America also has the online shopping category too.

Where are people nowadays? There is no one pick up the phones? What is so wrong?
Oh fk me, I got the unlimited one😢
My first BoA card was by MBNA or something with Cleveland Indians Mascot Chief Wahoo on it
This is odd.
I have bofa card, no bank with bofa I do have good credit score but still no money in their bank. I get 3%
I'm a Platinum Honors member and their cc suks! The Rewards program is a joke.
Credit cards for those scared of miles and points :(
This video is the reason why BOA is not one of the more popular cards I can't see an annual fee for a 1.5 cash back or miles!! Really???
If you're Platinum Honors, that's 2.625% cashback and if you use the travel credits, you're paid $5 to have the card. There's no one best card for everyone but this certainly can be a power card for many.
👌
Geez those cards are whack
I have a lot of money w/BoA so not for me...😊

I’m out of the game.
These cards are trash
If u broke yea 😂
