Bank of America allows you to check for pre-selected offers. I don’t think checking these has ever shown a higher than normal sign up bonus before but reddit user PointMe2Smiles was able to see a $250 bonus on the cash rewards card ($50 more than the public bonus). Hopefully this isn’t the only card with increased bonuses via pre-selected checker. If anybody sees any others please let us know in the comments below.
I’m a BofA customer and saved the $250 Cash Rewards offer, expiring May 26. When I logged in and clicked on my saved offers, the offer was not available. I logged out and went back to the pre-selected offers screen and logged in again. I got the $250 offer and was approved.
$200 for Cash Rewards for me. I applied and was told I would hear back. About 30 minutes later, got approval.
How many personal cards in the past 12 months, if you don’t mind sharing.
Thank you
I am not sure, to be honest. I would venture a guess of 4 or 5, almost all as AU. I guess I need to look.
Preferred Rewards Gold member with a Premium Rewards card. Still standard $200 offer on Cash Rewards and 25k points on Travel Rewards.
Standard $200 offer for cash rewards and 25,000 points for travel rewards (I already have both). Both are Visas as well which don’t work for Plastiq, as supposedly the online shopping bonus works for this category and I need to pay my mortgage.
Yup, noticed this last night. $250 for the Cash and 30,000 for the Travel. Premium showing normal 50,000.
PS: Also noticed that they updated all their cards to have contactless chips, both online in the images and the physical new card my wife received. They told me a little while ago that it’s not rolling out to my area for another while, so, nice to see.
Got the $250 offer for the Cash Rewards card; offer expires May 26.
I am seeing a $250 bonus for the Cash Tewards card and a 30,000 points offer for the Travel Rewards card. Both require $1k spend in 90 days and are good through 06/03/2020.
Unfortunately, I am way past 7/12, so these personal card offers do me no good.
BOA doesn’t care about being 7/24. Unless you’re waiting to get under the 5 for Chase I say go for it.
TomT said “way past 7/12”, not 7/24. (7/12 would be the equivalent of 14/24.) And BOA does indeed care about being “way past 7/12”. See this:

none for me
Travel Reward: 25,000 bonus points offer
Guessing that’s standard… Nothing else seems to be out of the ordinary…
Tried for the premium card and got told “no” (have a checking account) — apparently not enough history for such a special product according to the rep. Meanwhile chase has given me $100k+ in total lines and every card I’ve asked for. BofA forever behind…
