Issuer Rules & Restrictions

Maximum Cards per Issuer
You can hold up to 5 cards from this issuer simultaneously.
Shutdown Risk Triggers
Manufactured spending (MS), rapid credit seeking across multiple issuers, high cumulative credit limit relative to income, unusual spending patterns, frequent balance churning, or suspected bonus abuse.
Cliff Effect Rules
The primary 'cliff effect' for this card is its integration with the Bank of America Preferred Rewards program. Cardholders with Preferred Rewards status (based on combined balances in Bank of America banking and Merrill investment accounts) receive a bonus on their cash back earnings. This bonus can be 25% (Gold), 50% (Platinum), or 75% (Platinum Honors), significantly increasing the effective cash back rate (e.g., from 1.5% to 2.62% for Platinum Honors). Failure to maintain Preferred Rewards status will result in a reduction of the cash back rate to the base 1.5%.
International Friendly
This card works well for international travel and transactions.
Additional Issuer Rules
For 2026, Bank of America is expected to maintain its core application rules, notably the '2/3/4 Rule': applicants are generally limited to receiving approval for no more than 2 new Bank of America credit cards within a 2-month period, 3 new cards within a 12-month period, and 4 new cards within a 24-month period. Eligibility typically requires excellent credit (FICO score 740+). An existing banking relationship with Bank of America or Merrill can enhance approval odds and is crucial for maximizing rewards. The card offers a flat 1.5% cash back on all purchases. A common sign-up bonus is $200 after spending a specified amount (e.g., $1,000) within the first 90 days of account opening.
