Application Process
Issuer Rules & Policies
PENDINGRules: Applicants for the Bank of America Premium Rewards card in 2026 are expected to require a good to excellent credit score (typically 700+ FICO), U.S. residency, and a valid SSN/ITIN. Applicants must be 18 years or older. **Application Rules (Bank of America 2/3/4 Rule):** This rule limits new Bank of America credit card approvals to: * No more than 2 new cards within a 2-month period. * No more than 3 new cards within a 12-month period. * No more than 4 new cards within a 24-month period. These rules apply across all Bank of America credit card products. **Sign-up Bonus Eligibility:** New cardholders are typically eligible for a one-time sign-up bonus (e.g., 60,000 points after spending $4,000 in the first 3 months). Re-eligibility for the bonus on the same product is generally restricted for 24 months after receiving a previous bonus. **Key Feature:** The card's earning potential is significantly enhanced by participation in the Bank of America Preferred Rewards program, offering a 25% to 75% bonus on base earnings depending on your tier (based on combined assets with Bank of America and Merrill Lynch).
Max Cards Per Issuer: 4
Min Spend Interval: 3 months
Cliff Effect Rules: The primary cliff effect for this card relates to the Bank of America Preferred Rewards program. If your combined assets with Bank of America and Merrill Lynch fall below the threshold for your current Preferred Rewards tier, your bonus earning rate (25%, 50%, or 75%) will decrease to the lower tier's rate or be eliminated entirely if you fall out of the program. Additionally, eligibility for sign-up bonuses for the same product is typically restricted if a bonus was received within the last 24 months.
