This Bank of America card gives cardholders a bit more control over their rewards than most. Cardholders can choose one “everyday” 3% cash back category to earn rewards for in addition to 2% and 1% static reward categories.Â
3% category choices include gas, online shopping, dining, travel, drug stores, or home improvement/furnishings. However, rewards are limited to $2,500 in combined 3% and 2% category purchases each quarter, then rewards fall to 1%.
If you spend more than $2,500 in gas and other purchases each quarter, you may want to consider another card. But for consumers who spend less than that, this card presents an inexpensive and lucrative option to earn some cash back as you fill up your gas tank.
In addition to offering a flexible rewards program, it comes with an easy-to-obtain welcome bonus plus an intro 0% APR for purchases (then 14.74% to 24.74% variable). However, it doesn’t offer much in the way of other benefits, like shopping or travel protections, outside of standard fraud protection.
Pros
- Your choice of 3% cash back category
- Intro 0% APR offer
- Easy welcome bonus
Cons
- $2,500 quarterly spending limit in combined 3% and 2% categories
- Few benefits
