Our Verdict
Since its launch in 2017, the offer on this card has been 50,000 points with $3,000 spend. They’re now bumping it up to 60,000 points with $4,000 spend which is nice.
If you don’t have the card, this is pretty easy $600 bonus to meet. It does have the $95 annual fee, which some might be able to offset with the $100 travel incidental credit (see what counts here).
Bank of America has also increased the Elite version of this card to $750.

Hat tip to USCCG
Instant approval even though I’ve tried applying for BOA cards with annual fees in the past and got instant denial. Income has probably doubled since last attempt though. Currently have 1 CC with BOA and no other relationship
is United travel bank still working for $100 credit ?
This is NOT a metal card. Just received today with 24k CL.
How long did it take for the card to arrive ?
BOFA was really cautious so it took speaking to them to verify my id. I would say close to a month. Application pending 2 weeks to approval. Then 2 weeks of waiting after approval to receive in the mail. Plain envelope, nothing fancy.
Thanks. My DP is 10 days after approval. On a side note, the 90 day SUB clock begins on the day of approval and I have a bonus spend tracker in my online account.
applied for the card in august 2022. downgraded in august 2023. closed the downgraded in jan 2024. applied for premium rewards card again today – denied. f boa.
Wow, approved with $18k CL. Probably my biggest ever, I only gross $60k/year.
Instant approval with 3 CCRs and 1 UCR card already. I was surprised the credit line they gave me was huge ($23k), whereas the last time I added a CCR they gave me only $2k and I had to call to transfer credit from other cards. I’m Platinum honors PR. FICO 848
I already had 3 CCR cards and the unlimited card (total of 4) before applying. Was instantly approved for this one. I am a preferred rewards member. Just stating this as I saw one person say they were denied due to too many BoA cards already.
I got approved last night, but the agent said they don’t see the bonus attaching to my card because it’s too early. Is it normal?
This might have been stupid to do, but I applied with the link above, was denied, then opened the BOFA app to see if it showed up there or if there was a preapproval. There wasn’t so I applied for the same offer on the app and was approved. I hope I don’t have two dings on my credit!
Just successfully churned after having previously held this card and closed it in spring 2020.
