Bank of America pre-qualify site...how accurate?

I just used the tool (logged in as I bank with them) and said I was intersted in travel and got:

 

We recommend

 
Bank of America® Travel Rewards credit card 20,000 bonus points offer
Apply now

Offers good until 01/21/2018

 

Is this just generic junk or is this a solid pre-qual?

If not showing a firm APR in the offer's price terms, then you know it's not a preapproval. From the wording "We recommend " it's most likely not a firm offer.

Considering a little lower that it says "After that, a Variable APR that's currently 14.24-24.24% will apply." for mine, I don't think it's a pre-qual at all.  I think it's just trying to sell you.  I wouldn't bite and I haven't with them.

BCE AMEX ($16200) - Citi DC ($11600) - Chase Sapphire Preferred ($10200) - Nordstrom Visa Signature ($10000) - Best Buy Citi Visa ($9950) - Chase Freedom Flex ($7700) - NHL Discover IT ($7000) - Apple Card ($6000) - Delta Gold AMEX ($6000) - Hilton Honors AMEX ($5000) - Barclay View ($5000)

Closed - Capital One Secured ($500) - It is not in my wallet. :-) - Sony/Sync ($2400)

Goal - To get in with Chase. Smiley Very Happy (ACHIEVED!)

BoA "pre-selected" offers are garbage.

Not saying you won't get approved, but it's not a good indicator either way.
