BofA BBR Card Reward Question

Hey Everyone!

 

I opened up the Bank of America Better Balance Rewards card in January, my first statement cut in February with a balance of $207.56, paid balance in full, made a charge in February, and March bill cut, paid in full, I'll have a charge this month and will pay in full in April.  Will I be qualified for the $30 quarterly bonus since I'm a Bank of America checking account holder?

 

Thanks for your help!

Would be interesting in knowing how this works as well. I have the 123 card that I was thinking of PCing since I only use this card for a monthly reoccurring charge to keep open and active. $100/year ($120/year if xfered to BoA account) is a lot better than my current $0.30 projected earnings.

My understanding is that you get paid after the end of each quarter, and that it is possible to get the first quarter payment with less than 3 full monthly payments. Just like in this diagram.

You can't PC to a BBR card at all. Only new applications.

You will only get the $30 if you have the rewards set up to be direct deposited into a Bank of America account. If you deposit it to another bank or use the statement credit option, you will get $25. You have to choose ahead of time on the Bank of America website. You should see a link that says something like "Manage Rewards Preferences."

I set it up to go into my Bank of America checking account, does anyone know when the rewards get sent to the account?

It probably varies per person, but my funds are deposited on either the 6th or 14th of the month.

I disagree with your statement, I PCed my 123 Cash Rewards to a BBR, it was a simple process.

The rule against PC'ing to a BBR was only established about a year ago, possibly more recently.
