I’ve long thought that the Merrill+ has one of the best credit card sign up bonuses currently available because of the following:
- Sign up bonus of 50,000 points after $3,000 in spend (only available via phone)
- Points are worth up to 2¢ each (read our full guide to their valuation and redeeming them here)
- No annual fee
Frequent Miler is reporting that he was told that the card would be discontinued in “mid September”. This lines up on what I predicted might happen with the introduction of Bank of America’s new premium card. This is one of those cards I think makes sense for the majority of people (as long as you can safely meet the minimum spend requirement) as worst case scenario you get $500 in cash value and best case it’s $1,000 in airline tickets. We have a full review of the card here.
To apply for the card call them on 866-751-1257 and mention the offer. If necessary mention the offer code BAABZX.
