[Expired] BofA Bank Amerideals: Get 2% Bonus Cashback On Groceries (Max $5 CashbacK)

The Offer

Check your Bank of America Bank Amerideals for the following offer:

  • Get 2% extra cash back on a single Grocery purchases through August 7, 2022. Max $5 cash back.

The Fine Print

  • For Cash Back Online Shopping Offers: If a merchant processes your order in separate transactions, you’ll only earn cash back value on the first transaction.
  • Eligibility will be determined based on the Merchant Category Codes (MCC) for the merchant in which you transact. Merchants are assigned an MCC based on the merchant’s primary line of business. We do not determine which MCC a merchant chooses to classify itself. Eligible MCCs include supermarkets, freezer/meat lockers, candy, nut or confection stores, dairy product stores, and bakeries. Excluded are superstores, wholesale clubs and smaller stores (like drug stores and convenience stores) that sell groceries and other products.
  • Offer expires 8/7/2022.
  • Offer valid one time only.
  • Payment must be made directly with the merchant. Offer not valid on third-party services.
  • Offer not valid on tobacco, alcohol, lottery, or pharmacy purchases.
  • Payment must be made on or before offer expiration.
  • Cash back may not be processed for over 30 days or until a complete future billing cycle.

Our Verdict

Reader Irene sent this one in, and I see this on my Bank of America card as well, maybe it’s showing for all BofA customers. Personally, I’m not planning on using it since other cards earn more even with the bonus. Others might have cards that become worthwhile for Groceries with this bonus or that they use anyway.

Note, again, you only get the bonus on your first Grocery transaction after saving the offer. Max it out with a single $250 purchase to get the full $5 back.

I had forgot about this, but one of my in-store walmart purchases triggered it.

Just wanted to get my understanding confirmed-

If you are on gold tier then this extra 2% + regular 2% grocery + 0.5% (Preferred rewards) so total 4.5%, correct ?

is a $250 gift card acceptable for the 2%?

“For Cash Back Online Shopping Offers”—-Is this an online offer?

Effectively 5.5% back with Customized Cash card and Preferred Rewards Platinum status. Not bad.

Wouldn’t it be 7% with the Platinum tier? (Grocery 2% + 2% bonus) = 4% *1.75 =7%. Though you’ll be canabalizing your 3% catagory a little bit.

Amerideals don’t get bonus from Preferred Rewards, so this is really just extra 2% over the “regular” 3.5% grocery with Platinum Honors category. And yes, it’s cannibalizing the 3% category, so if you otherwise used all $2500 on it, this is really “just” a 0.25% bonus.
