Some recent DPs on getting Bank of America Cash Rewards Visa?

I see some info listed on Doctor of Credit  for BoA CCs, some here, but I wanted to see if any recent DPs (i.e. 2020 or last 6-months) for the Bank of America Cash Rewards Signature Visa?

 

If you have some, let's hear. Does the 3/12 rule still apply to them for this particular card?

 

Shame I didn't try for one of their cards when I was with BoA - seems like they are favorable to that from what I read.

 

When I try their pre-q site, it says "we recommend" this particular card, nothing about being pre-approved however.  Smiley Wink

 

I know they supposedly pull TU F8.

 

What other tidbits?  Smiley Very Happy

Depending on region, they'll pull Experian or Transunion.

 

Their prequal site is not one at all. As you said, more like a recommendation.

The 3/12 and 7/12 rules apply across all of their cards.  From personal experience the 7/12 rule is not an ironclad one. 

 

BoA pulls EX for new applications, they pull TU for CLI requests which are usually just a SP.

 

The only true BoA preapprovals are made to existing accountholders via offers in their online account. Nothing via their prequal site is a true preapproval. 

 

They are a relationship bank and value existing accountholders when applying for credit.

 

Interesting they're back issuing the Cash Rewards cards as Visa.

Just for clarity, the 3/12 rule (per WalletFlo) is for BOA cards correct? and the 7/12 rule is for ALL open CC accounts?

Unless you want to add more denials to the belt, I would suggest you garden. I understand the app itch well but denials beget denials. BoA has no problem saying no.

If you haven't done so all ready, as mentioned by coldfusion, they are a relationship bank. Open up a checking about and plant your seedling. Let it grow and build that relationship.

Yeah, I was with them for a long time and just got rid of them last year because of their FEEs.

 

But at the time, I wasn't into this CC hobby I find myself in now, I should have applied for a card then when I was with them.

 

Oh well..  Smiley Indifferent

Yeah but that 7-10 day notice or outright 👎  is a real downer. 

I get my app itch out by doing prequals, especially since they always deflate my confidence when I get told no prequal.

Yeah, lately I can't get no (satisfaction Smiley Very Happy) from that either. I see the same thing from CHASE everyday, even though I have been with them for decades. And 1-month ago I see all 3 offered to me from BB&T and since then nothing. Depressing.

 

None of the Pre-q's say yes to you right now either?
