Our Verdict
An extra 3.33x miles per $1 spent if you spend exactly $150.
What is the best way to spend $150? Any good gift cards that are eligible?
TIA
An extra 3.33x miles per $1 spent if you spend exactly $500 –> $150
does this trigger BoA premium travel credit?
why would it? the transaction has nothing to do with the shopping portal you went through
Verdict. You only need to spend 150 not 500
“An extra 3.33x miles per $1 spent if you spend exactly $500”
That should say if you spend exactly $150… 500 is the number of points you earn, not the number of dollars you spend.
