That's nice that they do the ' 50% customer bonus when you redeem your cash back into a Bank of America® checking or savings account,'

I'll do mine in December. I should have a good chunk then.

I also have that card and the 50% bonus was nice. I have my mom and little brother as AU and i make $25 + 50% in cash back every 2 months.

So this is essentially a 1.5% base card too with a BofA account?

JPMorgan Palladium (100k), AmEx Platinum (NPSL), AmEx SPG (46k), AmEx BCP (42k), Chase Sapphire Preferred (47k), Citi Prestige (31k), Citi Thank You Preferred (27k), Citi Executive AAdvantage (25k), JPMorgan Ritz-Carlton (21k), Merrill+ (15k), US Bank Cash+ (22.5k), Wells Fargo (12k), Bloomingdale’s (12.4k), Chase Freedom (5k), Discover IT (5k).

longtimelurker · ‎07-16-2013

Yes, this is the Privileges version (for Plat Priv customers), the normal card gives 10% bonus for redeeming into BoA accounts.

A little complex in that it gives 2% on groceries, 3% on gas, up to a COMBINED $1,500 a quarter, so a mixture of 3 and 4.5% on those.

b1gr3dmachin3 · ‎07-16-2013

Wow this is a nice card...it seems pretty much the same as my normal Cash Rewards except with a 50% bonus when depositing into a BoA account....now I want to be upgraded to this card!! lol

BoA 123 $2.5k (11/12) // Discover It $3.9k (7/13) // Citi Forward Student $3.8k (7/13) // Chase Freedom 5k (12/13) // Amex Blue Cash 6k (1/15)

But always remember to compare the competition! So Capital One Quicksilver is a no strings attached 1.5% without any fee ($75 a year for this card, waived with a combined $50K BoA balance) and no need for a bank account. But that doesn't have the gas/grocery bonus categories.

Fid Amex gives 2% everywhere, but needs you to set up a free Fidelity account. And also lacks those bonuses.

But the gas at least is attractive here, for those without PenFed/Fort Knox, and when Discover or Freedom doesn't cover gas.
