Issuer Rules

Rules: This analysis for 2026 is based on current Bank of America credit card application and issuer policies, which are subject to change. Eligibility for the Free Spirit Travel Mastercard typically requires good to excellent credit (FICO score generally 700+), being at least 18 years old, a U.S. resident, and possessing a valid SSN or ITIN. The standard sign-up bonus usually requires meeting a specified spending threshold within the initial months of account opening. Applications are subject to Bank of America's internal velocity rules, commonly known as the 2/3/4 rule.

Maximum Cards Per Issuer: 7

Minimum Spend Interval: 3 months

Shutdown Risk Triggers: Manufactured spending (MS), high cumulative credit limit across all Bank of America accounts, rapid application for multiple cards (even within issuer rules), unusual spending patterns inconsistent with income, frequent balance transfers without new spending, late payments, or defaulting on other Bank of America products.
