I bet you don't. You have enough BofA cards! Smiley Happy

 


i asked them if there was a limit to how many cards i could have with them and they said no....i want to at least convert mine to a privilege but i wont get the 0% promo or 100 cash back...im getting the shakes cuz i need to apply for something


If you're shooting for the 0% intro APR and $100 cash back, you might as well try the Travel Rewards card. If gives you at least 1.5 points on purchases, has a chip, and doesn't have a foreign transaction fee.

What are the benefits of the card? I know its a $75 AF. Do you think i can PC to Privilege even when I was approved today for cash rewards sig? 


This card is weird in that it is the only card with bonus categories (that I'm aware of) in which the bonus category spending is capped such that the category spending alone doesn't justify the increase in annual fee over the standard card (most cards I see with AFs are designed in such a way that the AF makes sense if the spending is high enough).

 

I think the idea is this card isn't really meant for general consumption, although it is certainly possible to spend in such a way that your earnings less the AF surpass the regular card. It is, however, pretty.

 And why would you need the Privilege version? In what aspect is it better than the non-Privilege version?
