Has BoA CB Rewards ever changed offered categories?

[Anonymous]

I was looking into this card a couple of years back and then not again until recently and thought perhaps the 3% categories have changed.  Have any been added or removed?  For some reason I thought that utilities was a possible category, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

It used to be 3% (or more with status) on gas. The ability to choose has only been around for about two years.

2%+ at supermarkets, not including warehouse clubs.

It's still gas, online shopping, drug stores, home improvement & furnishings, dining, and travel for 3%.

I have had the card a while (Date opened May 02, 2018) , I don't ever remember seeing utilities?

In fact, I have never noticed any change in Cat's.

I just use the US Bank Cash+ for UT's

U.S. Bank Cash+ is a card that lets you choose two categories to earn 5% in. You can change your categories every quarter and you’re restricted to earning 5% on the first $2,000 in combined spend on both categories (e.g maximum of $100 cash back), the card then reverts to earning 1% cash back on those categories. Starting April 1st, 2018 home utilities will replace bookstores as a 5% category. Home utilities includes:

• electric, gas and waste management companies

Utilities were never a category for this card under the current rewards structure.

Now, yes. I was talking about the old structure. I could have been clearer.

To avoid any confusion...

Old structure (before early 2019): 3% on gas, 2% at supermarkets

New structure (since early 2019): 3% on chosen category, 2% at supermarkets and wholesale clubs

Can confirm what @wasCB14 said. Had mine since 2013.

Maybe I had the BoA card confused with this one.  There was something that I was considering for utilities at one point.  The BoA card doesn't really appeal to me with the 3% categories offered, as I've got them covered across other cards already.  Thanks for the good info!
