Issuer Rules & Restrictions

Maximum Cards per Issuer
You can hold up to 5 cards from this issuer simultaneously.
Shutdown Risk Triggers
Manufactured spending (MS), suspicious spending patterns, excessive credit limit requests, high cumulative credit limit across BofA cards relative to income, rapid succession of applications, abuse of rewards programs (e.g., returning items after earning points, cycling credit), late payments or bounced payments.
Cliff Effect Rules
The card's earning potential is significantly boosted by Bank of America's Preferred Rewards program (25% to 75% bonus on base earnings), which requires maintaining substantial assets with BofA/Merrill. Not meeting the asset tiers means missing out on these enhanced rewards. Bonus re-eligibility is typically restricted if you've received the sign-up bonus for this card within the last 24 months. While not a direct 'cliff,' applying for too many BofA cards, even if within the 2/3/4 rule, can lead to lower credit limits or denials based on overall credit exposure.
International Friendly
This card works well for international travel and transactions.
Additional Issuer Rules
The Bank of America Premium Rewards card typically offers a sign-up bonus of 50,000 points (worth $500) after spending $3,000 in the first 90 days of account opening. Eligibility for the bonus usually requires that you have not had the card and received a bonus for it within the last 24 months. Application rules include the '2/3/4 Rule' (no more than 2 new BofA cards in 2 months, 3 in 12 months, or 4 in 24 months). Additionally, an unofficial '7/12 Rule' suggests potential denial if you've opened 7 or more new credit card accounts (from any issuer) in the past 12 months. Applicants generally need good to excellent credit (FICO 700+) and a stable income. An existing banking relationship with Bank of America can improve approval odds and unlock enhanced rewards through the Preferred Rewards program.
