Expert tips to get the most value from this program
Program Overview
Bank of America Cash Rewards is a cashback program for BofA credit cards. The flagship Customized Cash Rewards card lets cardholders choose one 3% category each month (gas, online shopping, dining, travel, drug stores, or home improvement/furnishings), with 2% on grocery stores and wholesale clubs (up to $2,500 in combined 2%/3% purchases per quarter) and 1% on everything else. Preferred Rewards members (with $20K–$100K+ in BofA/Merrill accounts) receive a 25–75% bonus multiplier on rewards, effectively turning 3% into up to 5.25% — one of the highest effective cashback rates in the market for eligible customers. Best for: Bank of America relationship customers who qualify for Preferred Rewards and have strong spending in a single bonus category.
Earning Tips
BofA Customized Cash Rewards: - 3% on your chosen category (change monthly via app) - 2% on groceries and wholesale clubs - 1% on everything else - $2,500/quarter cap on combined 2%+3% category spending Preferred Rewards multiplier (key advantage): - Gold tier ($20K+): 25% bonus → 3% becomes 3.75%, 2% becomes 2.5% - Platinum tier ($50K+): 50% bonus → 3% becomes 4.5%, 2% becomes 3% - Platinum Honors tier ($100K+): 75% bonus → 3% becomes 5.25%, 2% becomes 3.5% BofA Unlimited Cash Rewards: 1.5% base (1.875%–2.625% with Preferred Rewards) — best as a simple flat-rate complement to Customized Cash. Strategy: - If you have significant BofA/Merrill assets, prioritize maximizing Preferred Rewards tier - Choose the 3% category based on your highest non-recurring monthly spend - Use Customized Cash for your chosen bonus category and another card (e.g., Amex Gold, Chase Freedom) for dining/groceries if not capped
