I'm going to convert my BofA Cash Rewards card for this one. I have two of the Cash Rewards cards. Will probably forego the signon bonus. We can still apply for another new card if we like to. I'll give BA a call.


highly doubt they will allow a PC to a co-branded card.

Please report back if BoFA will allow you to do that!

Can't convert a cash rewards card to travel card.

 

Apply for a new one then. Just not now. This card has been up for quite some time. It was mainly for Merrill Lynch clients.

@BronzeTrader

So the card was only for ML clients and now that have opened it up to the masses is that what is the story with this card?

Not sure. I've seen this card for some time. Had no interest with its reward program. I may check back in 6 months and I think this card and the bonus should still be around.

The card rewards suck, but the card design is bad a$s and only reason I'm even entertaining applying is the $500 cashback and then in a year close it.

So it's confirmed that you can't PC from cash rewards to this?

CC is correct that BoA will not allow you to PC their regular cards to any of their co-branded cards - I have received confirmation of this directly from BoA multiple times when I asked.

 

It relates to their partner agreements with their partner cards - this is what I was told several different times.

Not a bad card, sign up bonus is enticing and comes with numerous benefits.
