How about BoA BankAmericard Privileges /w travel rewards? The cash rewards one is nice also 50% extra when deposit to saving or checking with BoA.Besides maybe a CU (not my area expertise here), this is the *only* card with both a no-annual fee, EMV and no forex feature, right?
You are correct, although there are more than a few CU cards that offer these features, plus the availability of chip+PIN, at much lower interest rates. I have yet to carry a balance on it, but if I ever needed to carry a balance on one of my cards, SDFCU would be my first choice, as it is my lowest interest card, at 6.99% APR.

I actually wasn't aware that that card existed. I had always thought the BankAmericard Travel Rewards credit card was the only one.

IIRC, no AF is only if you have $50k+ in BofA/Merrill Lynch accounts. This is a great deal if you do, but it's maybe not the most realistic for everyone.
Yeah that's the one.
@HiLine: they took it down from the main cards site I want to say like 4 months ago? They (it's brother Priveleges Cash Rewards too) used to be listed up there along with the rest of the BOFA cards. Last I read here could still apply for it though, though that may have been rambling of a former member now that I think of it.
The BofA Privileges Travel card has 2% on all spending and the 10% bonus, but can only be applied as "travel credit" redemptions.
Also, it has no sign up bonus, but I can see the card would appeal to those who like the Venture and Arrival rewards structures. Best way to qualify for the card and $75 fee waiver, is just to roll-over an IRA or similar account for the 30 free trades per month through Merrill Edge.

I don't think it's open for applications without the 50k anymore. When I asked to PC my old card to this one, they checked to see if I met the asset requirement first before doing it.

You may be right; looking at their website they may have split the Travel from the Cash one (which still appears to be online applicable, and according to it the AF is waived with 50K in assets).
