How do I earn Rewards?
There’s no limit to how much Cash
Rewards you can earn.
Cash Rewards earnings are based on the
Net Purchases charged to the Card
during each Billing Cycle.
Cash Rewards are calculated at each
transaction.
You earn Base Cash Rewards of 1%
(equal to $0.01 for every $1) on all Net
Purchases.
You earn a total of 2% cash back (equal
to $0.02 for every $1, consisting of 1%
Bonus Cash Rewards and 1% Base Cash
Rewards) on Net Purchases made at any
eligible grocery store merchants and
wholesale clubs. Excluded from this
bonus category are superstores and
smaller stores (like drug stores and
convenience stores) that sell groceries
and a variety of other products.
Page 2
You earn a total of 3% cash back (equal
to $0.03 for every $1, consisting of 2%
Bonus Cash Rewards and 1% Base Cash
Rewards) on Net Purchases made at
eligible merchants in the one Choice
Category you have selected.
Transactions resulting in fractions of
Cash Rewards will be rounded up to
the nearest whole cent if equal to or
greater than $0.005 and rounded down
if less than $0.005.
We calculate and round Base Cash
Rewards, Bonus Cash Rewards and
Preferred Rewards/Banking Rewards for
Wealth Management Programs (if
applicable) separately.
Eligible merchants earning 3% Cash
Rewards generally include merchants
whose primary line of business falls under
the following Choice Categories: Gas
(default), Online Shopping, Dining, Travel,
Drug Stores, Home Improvement/
Furnishings.
When the new account is opened the
default Choice Category is Gas. A new
Choice Category selection can be made
once per calendar month; however, if no
change is made the category will remain
the same. For example, if a category
change is made on the 15th of the month,
you must wait until the 1st day of the
following month to change your category
again.
Only one Choice Category can be
selected at a time.
Choice Category changes may be made
via the Site or the Mobile Banking
application.
Choice Category change will be effective
the same day (based on Central Time).
Choice Category Net Purchases in your
new category made on the effective date
will be eligible for Bonus Cash Rewards
according to the terms herein.
Choice Category Net Purchases in your
new category that post to your account on
the effective date but were made prior to
the effective date will not be eligible for
Bonus Cash Rewards.

POI Funding Transactions
Purchases made at a merchant that does
not process transactions under an eligible
MCC or with the accurate online
transaction classification or purchases
processed through a third-party payment
account, mobile/wireless card reader,
digital wallet not supported by
Bank of America or similar technology
where the technology does not support
transmission of MCCs will not qualify and
you will not receive the Bonus Cash
Rewards.
Earn 3% and 2% Cash Rewards on the
first $2,500 in combined Choice Category,
grocery store and wholesale club Net
Purchases each calendar quarter.
Once Choice Category, grocery store and
wholesale club Net Purchases exceed
$2,500 in a calendar quarter, further
applicable Net Purchases will not be
eligible to receive Bonus Cash Rewards
and you will earn only Base Cash
Rewards of 1% on Net Purchases until
the first day of the next calendar quarter.
If you return a purchase that earned
Bonus Cash Rewards, it may result in a
full or partial deduction of those Bonus
Cash Rewards. If the deduction causes
your Choice Category, grocery store and
wholesale club cumulative Net Purchase
amount to fall below the quarterly cap,
you may receive Bonus Cash Rewards on
those Net Purchases until exceeding the
quarterly cap.
The calendar quarters are: January 1
through March 31, April 1 through
June 30, July 1 through September 30
and October 1 through December 31 of
each year.
Cash Rewards are subject to verification.
From time to time, special promotions
may feature Bonus Cash Rewards; details
will accompany the offer.
Not all merchants accept all credit cards.
Additional restrictions may apply.
If I’m a Bank of America customer
or Merrill Lynch client who has
qualified for and enrolled in the
Preferred Rewards/Banking
Rewards for Wealth Management
Program, how do I earn the
Preferred Rewards/Banking
Rewards for Wealth Management
Bonus (“Preferred Rewards/
Banking Rewards Bonus”)?
What you should know
To be qualified for enrollment in the
Preferred Rewards/Banking Rewards for
Wealth Management Programs, you must
own certain Bank of America deposit
accounts and maintain specific balances
Page 6
in Bank of America deposit accounts
and/or in Merrill Lynch investment
accounts. Details are available at
bankofamerica.com/preferred-rewards.
After enrolling in the Preferred Rewards/
Banking Rewards for Wealth
Management Programs, or if you are
already enrolled and open a new Card, it
may take up to 45 days for the Preferred
Rewards/Banking Rewards Bonus to
become active on your Card.
If you move to a higher (or lower) reward
tier, it may take up to five days for the
higher (or lower) Preferred Rewards/
Banking Rewards Bonus to become
active on your existing Card.
For enrolled clients who change their card
type, as long as the new Card is an
eligible credit card, it may take up to five
days for the Preferred Rewards/Banking
Rewards Bonus to become active on the
new Card. A complete list of ineligible
cards is available at bankofamerica.com/
preferred-rewards.
If more than one Cardholder on a Card
account (Primary Cardholder and Joint
Cardholder) is enrolled in the Preferred
Rewards/Banking Rewards for Wealth
Management Program, the account will
receive the Preferred Rewards/Banking
Rewards Bonus level based on the
Cardholder with the higher tier.
If a Joint Cardholder with a higher tier is
added to a Card account, it may take up
to 45 days for the higher Preferred
Rewards/Banking Rewards Bonus to
become active on that Card.
Your Preferred Rewards/Banking
Rewards for Wealth Management
Program enrollment status and tier can
change depending on the balance you
maintain in your qualifying deposit/
investment account(s).
How the Preferred Rewards/Banking
Rewards for Wealth Management
Bonus works
If either the Primary Cardholder or Joint
Cardholder on the account is enrolled in
the Preferred Rewards or Banking
Rewards for Wealth Management
Programs, the Preferred Rewards/
Banking Rewards Bonus will be awarded
with each purchase as additional Cash
Rewards after the Base Rewards and
Bonus Rewards have been calculated.
The amount of additional cash you earn
depends on your Preferred Rewards/
Banking Rewards for Wealth Management
Program enrollment status and tier at the
time the purchase posts to your account.
– Gold tier: Adds 25% more to your Cash
Rewards earned with each purchase.
– Platinum tier: Adds 50% more to your
Cash Rewards earned with each
purchase.
– Platinum Honors tier: Adds 75% more
to your Cash Rewards earned with
each purchase.
– Banking Rewards for Wealth
Management: Adds 75% more to your
Cash Rewards earned with each
purchase.
The Preferred Rewards/Banking Rewards
Bonus amount also depends on whether
the purchase is included in the 1%, 2% or
3% earn rate as follows:
Earn
Rate
Gold
Tier
Platinum
Tier
Platinum Honors/
Banking
Rewards Tier
3% 3.75% 4.50% 5.25%
2% 2.50% 3.00% 3.50%
1% 1.25% 1.50% 1.75%
For example:
– If you make a $100 purchase that earns
3% ($3.00), you will actually earn $3.75
if you are in the Gold Tier, $4.50 if you
are in the Platinum Tier or $5.25 if you
are in the Platinum Honors or Banking
Rewards Tier when the purchase posts
to your account.
– If you make a $100 purchase that earns
2% ($2.00), you will actually earn $2.50
Page 7
if you are in the Gold Tier, $3.00 if you
are in the Platinum Tier or $3.50 if you
are in the Platinum Honors or Banking
Rewards Tier when the purchase posts
to your account.
– If you make a $100 purchase that earns
1% ($1.00), you will actually earn $1.25
if you are in the Gold Tier, $1.50 if you
are in the Platinum Tier or $1.75 if you
are in the Platinum Honors or Banking
Rewards Tier when the purchase posts
to your account.
Visit the Site or refer to your monthly billing

Balance Transfers and Cash Advances,
including, but not limited to, travelers
checks, money orders and other cash
equivalents
Fees, interest charges and credit
insurance
Fraudulent transactions
What you need to know
For new customers, accrual of Cash
Rewards may begin on the date We mail
the Card and the Credit Card Agreement
to you. If you are an existing credit card
customer and your account is converted
to the Program, you may start earning
rewards immediately.
How do I redeem my Rewards?
Go to bankofamerica.com, the Mobile
Banking application, or call the number
listed on the back of your Card.
What you need to know
Cash Rewards are available for
redemption as soon as they appear on
your monthly billing statement.
Cash Rewards cannot be redeemed if the
account is not in good standing at the
time of redemption.
Cash Rewards accrued during any Billing
Cycle in which the account is two cycles
or greater past due at the end of the
Billing Cycle will not be awarded.
If your account loses charging privileges
but regains its good standing before the
point of account closure, your Cash
Rewards will be available for redemption
once the charging privileges are restored.
In order to redeem for Cash Rewards, you
must be an individual (no corporations,
partnerships or entities).
If the owner(s) of the Card account
voluntarily closes the Card account, or if
for any reason We close the Card
account, any unredeemed Cash Rewards
associated with the account are subject
to immediate forfeiture, unless specifically
authorized by Us within 90 days of
the closure.
However, if the Card account is closed in
connection with a death or incapacity of
the Card account owner, Cash Rewards
eligible for redemption may be redeemed
if an authorized representative of the
estate, as determined by Us, requests
Cash Rewards redemption within 57 days
of an account closure. Whether Cash
Rewards are eligible for redemption
depends on the final status of the
account, is subject to the account being
closed and paid in full, and is in Our sole
discretion. Cash Rewards will only be
issued upon request and in the name of
the deceased Primary Cardholder. In the
event redemptions are mailed, they are
sent in the name of the deceased Primary
Cardholder and to the address We have
in Our system of record for that person.
These redemption provisions do not apply
to jointly held accounts where there is at
least one surviving owner of an account.
All redemptions are final once processed.
Cash Rewards are non-negotiable, and
cannot be redeemed for any benefit
except those Cash Rewards designated
by Us.
Cash Rewards are not property of any
Cardholder or other person, and may not
Page 8
be brokered; bartered; attached; pledged;
gifted; sold; or unless specifically
authorized by Us, transferred to anyone
else under any circumstances, including,
but not limited to: disability; death; upon
operation of law, or in connection with any
domestic relations dispute and/or legal
proceeding.
We shall have no liability for
disagreements between Cardholders
regarding Cash Rewards.
Unless specifically authorized by Us,
Cash Rewards may not be combined with
other discounts, special rates, promotions
or other reward programs offered by Us.
Unless specifically authorized by Us,
Cash Rewards cannot be transferred
between any credit card accounts issued
by Us.
Cash Rewards may not be combined
with any other entity, including airline
frequent flier, hotel frequent guest or
other travel-related or membership
reward charge or credit card programs,
whether in the U.S. or abroad.
There is no expiration date on your
Cash Rewards, as long as your account
remains in good standing.
Redemption of Cash Rewards
You can redeem Cash Rewards in U.S.
dollars. You can request an electronic
deposit to an Eligible Account, a
statement credit, or a check.
One-time redemptions for a contribution
to a qualifying 529 account or
redemptions for a check have a $25
minimum redemption amount.
Redemptions for an electronic deposit
into a Bank of America
®
checking or
savings account, qualifying Cash
Management Account
®
with Merrill Lynch
Wealth Management
®
or Merrill Edge
®
or
for a statement credit have no minimum
redemption amount.
Automatic redemptions for an electronic
deposit into a Bank of America checking
or savings account or into a qualifying
Cash Management Account
®
with
Merrill Lynch Wealth Management
®

redemption amount.
We deduct the Cash Rewards you
redeem from your Cash Rewards balance
on the date you request a redemption.
Either you, as the Cardholder, or any
authorized user may request to redeem
Cash Rewards.
We have no liability for fulfilling Cash
Rewards requests in good faith in
response to any person claiming authority
on your behalf.
Once We issue Cash Rewards, if any
transaction contributing to the value of
those Cash Rewards is refunded or
credited, or otherwise rescinded, We may,
at Our discretion, reverse a statement
credit to your Card, stop payment on any
check, and/or withhold subsequent Cash
Rewards, or collect any amount you owe,
in any appropriate manner. This includes,
but is not limited to, the posting of an
equivalent dollar debit in the form of a
cash advance transaction to your Card.
A 529 plan contribution resulting from
rewards redemption is treated as any
other plan contribution, and may be
subject to gift tax and/or generation-
skipping tax. You are responsible for
any tax liability and any related tax-return
reporting obligations that may result from
your rewards redemption, so please
consult your tax advisor to understand the
tax consequences as Bank of America
does not provide tax advice.
529 contributions made by individuals
with an international address will be
rejected and returned.
If you are considering redeeming for a
contribution to a 529 account held at
Merrill Lynch, please refer to the 529
account’s Program Description for
additional details about the plan, including
maximum lifetime contribution limits.

within five business days of your request.
If an electronic deposit is rejected for
any reason, We will void the deposit

If you receive a statement credit, you are
still responsible for paying your Minimum
Payment Due shown on each monthly
billing statement you receive from Us.
Redemption for Checks
Cash Rewards checks will only be made
payable to the individual designated by
Us as the Primary Cardholder.
Check redemptions start at $25.

Cardholder’s billing address via first-class
U.S. mail within 14 business days of the
redemption.
Checks can only be sent within the 50
United States and U.S. territories.
We are not responsible for lost, stolen,
or undelivered checks.
Requests for multiple checks are
processed and mailed separately.
Page 10
Checks are valid for 90 days from date
of issue. An expiration date will appear
on each check.
We will void any check that is not
presented for payment before the
expiration date. In such cases, We will
award the Cash Rewards as a statement
credit posting to your Card within two
Billing Cycles following the expiration
date. This will appear on your account
as a retail credit adjustment.
There is no limit to the number of checks
you can receive.
