The Offer
No direct link, targeted offer
Bank of America is sending some Cash Rewards cardholders the following offer:
- Earn an additional 1% cash back on all your purchases through 6/30/21. You’ll earn 4% in your choice category (up to the quarterly maximum).
- Others got different versions of a spend offer, e.g. get 3% bonus cashback at home improvement stores.
The Fine Print
- Limit $150 in bonus cashback
Our Verdict
Max this out with $15,000 in spend. Your 3% categories will earn 4% with this deal. And if you have Platinum status, the 5.25% earn rate becomes 6.25%.

Chuck There’s a new offer for 2% on up to $3000 spend through 12/31/21, which I’m assuming means 2% above normal points, as it was last time. (BofA AAA Visa)
Arrived by email.
I got this bonus cash as a statement credit on 1/27/22.
ok, the 1% bonus showed up covering all 2 months’ purchases!
Has anyone actually gotten the bonus points? When I look at the recent history, there is no 1% extra on any of my purchases.
btw I never got an email to sign up, but just noticed it after I logged out one day and clicked.
Myself & SO got double points (up to 15000 points) on our Travel Rewards cards.
Got a mail offer today for doubling the value of cash rewards (up to $150) until 6/30. It’s awesome to have unlimited 2% cashback on all categories, combined seasonal $2,500 spending cap on 4% groceries and 6% selected category.
Update: The term states that this offer will not apply to the 10% relational and preferred rewards bonus. Still not sure if they could add up.
How do you opt in for email offers? Never received anything from my accounts

Received the extra 1% on my BoA CR card. For the online shopping category, it makes it 4% cash back, which is pretty good when combined with shopping portals. I put fairly regular, but not large amounts of spend on my card.
Another offer:
Whatever’s on your to-do list, use your Bank of America® World Mastercard® and earn double the value of your cash rewards (up to $150) on all your purchases through 06/30/21. That’s on top of the rewards you’re already earning.
