The Offer
No direct link to offer, sent out via e-mail
- Bank of America Amtrak cardholders are being offered 5x Amtrak points per $1 spent on all purchases until December 31st, 2021 (up to 4,000 points)
Our Verdict
Good deal but it’s a shame there is a cap on it. Previous years we’ve seen a smaller multiple but with no cap.

not targeted again! :(
I haven't put any spend recently on either of my amtrak cards...perhaps that's why? Last time that I was targeted was dec 2020, I believe...at that time I'm not sure if these 5x offers were targeted or not
Targeted again on my no-AF card. Note as before that’s it’s 5x total points per $1 spent, so for the Platinum card it’s +3 pts on Amtrak purchases and +4 pts everywhere else, up to 4000 bonus points. If you’re targeted on the World MC, it would be +2 pts on Amtrak, +3 pts on other qualifying travel, +4 pts everywhere else.
Is this targeted or auto applied to CC?
Email with link to sign up, with language re offer exclusive to targeted card holder.
The email includes an activation link so not automatic.
I got an email that it’s back on until April 30. Looks like the same terms.
DP for future reference: the promo was advertised as 5x but the 4000 point cap was on the +4x bonus multiplier only, so max spend on this promo was $1000 not $800 as earlier assumed. Bonus points posted on 1/25/22.
I received and activated this on my no AF Amtrak card, but the end date is 12/28.
I got it on the free card. I was confused by the categories language, they said it was 5x on things like gifts for Christmas and groceries but I guess that's them being cute. So, good, it's everything.
Targeted apparently. Have it on my BA amtrak card, but not on p2.... and yes, very dull to see the promo spending limit capped so low. (a paltry $800)
No email offer on my World MasterCard. Haven’t spent much on BOA lately. I’d love that offer; will max it out if it shows up.
Interesting, I have both of the Amtrak cards but didn't get an email
Same. Annoying. I put very little spend on both, pretty much only for Amtrak food/drink after meeting MSR. I'd think that would make me targeted for spend incentivizers, but I guess not.
