Picking A Partner
You can choose which team to pick and that one will show up on your card. The main reason you might care is because the affinity partner receives payment for card sign up’s and spend. Other than that, they are all the exact same.

Our Verdict
This offer comes and goes. Thanks to a couple of Reddit members for finding these new links.
The standard offer on this card is $100 after $500 in spend and it also has gone up to $175. It’s one of the better options for credit cards with a cash signup bonus. Also, Bank of America combines multiple applications into a single hard inquiry, so some people like throwing this application in along with an Alaska application, for example.
Bear in mind that if you have a BofA checking account, the signup bonus is actually $220 since you get a 10% relationship bonus.

I don’t understand. What happened to the “Bank of America & MLB End Partnership” story from just a few days ago?
Oops! Sorry, didn’t see the date. This was from 2016! LOL
If it hasn’t been mentioned before, you can acquire Gold/Platinum/Platinum Preferred status after you have been awarded the bonus points and still get the extra 25%/50%/75% bonus if you haven’t redeemed for cash yet. With enough signup bonuses, it may be worth it to park 20k-100k there for 3 months.
Is the $200 offer dead? All links posted here are not working, so if anyone has a working link I would appreciate it.

Does anyone have a working link for the CC? Both links don’t work and give a generic error page.
Good deal! Charge $500, get $200 bonus!
Wife and I have good experience with this card. We were not instantly approved because we have a LOT of cards.
I received notification of the bonus 5 days after I hit the $500 threshold. Apparently have to wait for next statement to redeem. She is still working on hers.
Both links didn’t work, Is the offer expired already?

Thank you for this excellent recommendation! I opened my account on 07/12/16, made my first charge on the MasterCard on 07/23/16 and I received my reward credit for $222.22 on 08/09/16. From start to finish it was less than one month!
More than welcome, Joseph.
Just a heads up Doc. This deal seems to be back: https://secure.bankofamerica.com/applynow/welcome.go?cvo_campaign=4020417&cvo_lob=cc&cvosrc=affiliate.cj.1469133&cvo_format=text
