BoA Better Balance Rewards

What's the minimum charge each month to qualify for $25 each quarter?  Seems like an easy way to make $100...

Re: BoA Better Balance Rewards

Also, do you have to let the statement post with a balance and therefore accrue interest, in order to be eligible?  Or can you charge something once a cycle and then PIF the next day?

You have to make a balance report each statement otherwise you will not get the 25 per quarter.

 

I just let mine report a very small balance since I have other balances that report that I can't pay off right now.

Is there a minimum interest charge?  If not, you could just leave a $0.01 balance.

I looked back at my statements and I didn't have anything reporting as accrued. A balance is a balance whether it's 0.01 or 1.00 or 10.00 or 100.00. So doesn't really matter to me, it's just a PIF card IMO.

You do not pay interest when a statement posts a balance. The due date for a credit card is several weeks after the statement posts.

 

So you should be able to set the card to pay in full if you like.

How do you figure out the day the statement posts?

You wait for a statement to post. The date will be on it Smiley Happy

 

Like I said, you have almost a month after the statement posts before it must be paid, so you could check online once a week and still catch it weeks before it was due.

Also, I'm guessing that PIF counts as paying more than the minimum due even if the minimum due is the full balance, right?
