Meh

 

I app'd because I wanted in with BoA, but didn't do enough research. I wish I'd gotten the cash back card when it was available.

 

I also don't think it looks nearly as cool as the online pictures.

I think it's very nice looking however I wonder if I should have gone for another BOA card.

Re: Are you happy with your Bank of America Accelerated rewards Amex.?

I'm happy with mine. It was originally a Bank of America Student Visa, which turned into a Bank of America 3-2-1 Visa (or whatever it is officially called), which I converted over to the AmEx a few months back.

 

And I happen to think it looks better in person than online, but that's me. Smiley Happy

Re: Are you happy with your Bank of America Accelarated rewards Amex.?

It's ok.  I've had it for a couple of years.  The customer service is very nice when I've called.  It is a cool looking card, it's more about the rewards, right?  I don't like that I have to get 25,000 points to get $250 cash back.  Any amount below that doesn't pay much.  For example, 20k points equals $160.  Strange system.  So, once I redeem my points, it's a long haul to cash in points, and requires a commitment to almost dedicated use of that card. I like my Chase Freedom a bit more for rewards.  Even my US Bank Visa seems better because I can cash out with fewer points.

I've had mine for a few years and I agree the rewards program is alright (Freedom is much better) but the CSRs are always nice and professional.  I've had no problems with BofA
