Reposting this because it’s available on all of the MLB cards and I know some people couldn’t deal with having a Yankees card.

Picking A Partner
I can currently only see this on the New York Yankees affinity card, but it might be available on other affinity cards as well. The reason you might care is because the affinity partner receives payment for card sign up’s and spend (the actual cards are exactly the same apart from the card design). For example on the Komen card they have the following relationship:
For each new Pink Ribbon BankAmericard Cash Rewards™MasterCard® credit card benefiting Komen that is activated within 90 days of opening, Komen receives $3 and 0.08% of all retail purchases (less returns) made with the card. Komen also receives $3 for each renewal of a card that was in good standing during the 12 month period and does not have a zero balance at the time of the renewal.

Our Verdict
The standard offer on this card is $100 after $500 in spend, but it’s been increased to $175 twice (December – March in both 2014-2015 and 2015-2016). It’s not the best cash credit card sign up bonus, but it’s one of the better options. Another good thing is that Bank of America combines multiple applications into a single hard inquiry. It’s also possible to eventually downgrade this card to a better balance rewards card and earn up to $120 per year, but this has been getting harder and harder to do in recent times.

Has anyone had any luck matching from the $150 sign up bonus to this? I just applied last week and can’t find online chat or SM. Phone DPs from other cards don’t look that promising.
They are still offering the $100 cash bonus. Try this as a replacement

Reports came to me that my most recent link may fail.
This seems to be an alternative

The link is dead now. I suppose the offer is too.
Fingers crossed a new offer comes up soon.
They are still offering the $100 cash bonus. I’m not sure if they have the travel rewards bonus or not still, which was 20,000 miles.
I applied for the cash and the travel rewards cards at the same time. It only took one hard pull from BOA if it’s within the same day.
I did get both bonuses. However the 20,000 bonus miles equated to $120.
Is this expired? Going to unavailable page.
Yup, I think $100 is the best available now.

Applied and was accepted for 3 BOA MLB cards on April 9th. I did three different teams just in case they would combine the same team applications on to one card, not sure if that’s true or not but didn’t want to risk it. Received all three cards, all three good for the $200 cash back on $500 spend. Interestingly, I received three reports back from Experian – two had one credit score, and the third had a credit score that was 3 points less. However, just confirmed via usa.experian.com today that all three were combined on to a single inquiry. Looking forward to cashing these out into my new BoA checking (which I opened with a $100 bonus recently) for $660 on $1500+ spend. I received that offer for a bonus because I already had a travel rewards card, and it popped up on my BoA account page on the right where the offers are. Speaking of my BoA Travel rewards card, BoA did have to reduce my credit limit on the Travel Rewards card when these three new MLB accounts were opened. Hoping this offer stays around another 10 days – if it’s still active on 5/10 I’m definitely applying for three more. Thanks SO much for all you do.
Following up: I applied for three additional cards this morning. Was kicked out with errors and apologies that the system wasn’t working at least three times over the three applications. I was running Chrome and Chrome Incognito x 2 for the three applications; I probably should have used a different browser for the third screen.
Anyway, I was approved for three additional cards!… but the final two were only for a $1,000 credit limit. The first approval came back with a typical ($10k+) credit limit. The final two came back with the credit limit of only $1,000 each. So with my BOA Travel Rewards, + my original 3 BOA MLB Cash Rewards from last month, and the first BOA MLB Cash Rewards card I was accepted for this morning, I’m assuming I’ve hit the ceiling of what BOA is comfortable extending to me.
Anyone have any experience with BOA cash rewards cards bonuses with credit limits at $1,000? Do you think I’ll still get the $200 after $500 spend offer, or will it be eliminated/reduced? Thanks.
If you qualified otherwise and use the card to spend the min spend ($500) in the time allowed, you should be okay. My BOA MLB Cash Rewards was only $2000 CL and I got the $200 for $500 spend. On paper, it was credited on the item that put me over ($2 regular rebate plus $200 incentive reward) showed as rebate $202 for that item.. It was not a separate item like some other cards.
Thanks. I can confirm the $200 reward posted as Jeff states on a $1,000 CL BOA MLB card.
Denied for the BOA MLB card. Lately, I’ve been getting denied by BOA, especially for their cashback offers.
I was approved for BAC AICPA card, along with Chase AARP and Amex Green, early January this year. Would it be too soon to apply for the BAC MLB and ABA card together, or should I wait at least 3 months (early April) to apply?
As another data point, I applied for three BofA cards recently: this Cash Rewards card with the $200 bonus, Amtrak World MC, and AICPA Visa. I did this during one day in hopes that it will only be one hard pull. I was instant approved for the first two, and then got a pending decision notice on the third. But a few days later, I can see the card listed in my Bank of America account online. So I was able to get all 3 cards approved, all with close to $5,000 credit lines each. Credit score a bit below 700. I had two cards with B of A prior to this, but they had very small credit lines.
Ok,.wow im shocked.
Opened my BOA banking page and their is the card listed with another $25,000.
If you guys remember they sent me to further review status.
Wifes also approved with $25,000.
Though for sure we got denied.
So started with a bank account cause of Doc now have 2 cards myself and one for the wife and a car loan lol.
Doc what is wrong with your site lately, even typing now is slightly delayed??
Not sure why typing would be delayed, very odd.
I thought it was my phone but did it on my wifes also.
When typing it seems slow to type words and when I submit my post it takes a while to submit.
