This link is live now, if you're targeted you should see the $400 cash back offer after $500 in spending in 90 days.

Otherwise you can call 1-800-932-2775 and use priority code VABJOM - some have reported success getting the card this way even though they were not targeted.
Credit goes to Slickdeals.

Just call reconsideration on Monday that's my plan as well even though my score is a bit lower than yours. I'm guessing I was denied because of too many recent inquiries: I opened 3 CC accounts two weeks ago (none with BoA though).

Yup I was approved as well :). Glad it worked out for both of us and hopefully some of the other ~1500 people that have viewed this thread.
P.S. The rep also verified that I'll be getting the $400 off of $500 and 0% APR for 15 months.

instant approval via phone. thx OP.
however, the CSR wouldn't confirm the 400 off 500. she kept on saying that it would be set up like it was in the "email." she did mention the 0% for 15months, so that makes me feel better about it. I guess I'll call back in a few days and find out.

You get a 10% bonus on cash back, including credit card sign up bonuses, if you have a BoA checking account. They have a couple of free checking account options that can be opened pretty easily online. So this offer could actually be $440 off $500.
Am I doing something wrong?
When I call agents keep telling me I can't get this offer and need to go the site where I saw this offer and apply online at that locale. They are saying they can't help me process it on the phone.
Needless to say, any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Looking back at the thread on Slickdeals it seems that they pulled the offer code now, probably due to the unusually large number of requests. :(
For those of you that are concerned about the bonus, I'm happy to send you screenshots of the offer besides the one I posted above (if necessary, PM me).

Can anyone confirm using Amazon Payments for CC spend and not triggering Cash Advance?

Got my card in the mail on Saturday. The flyers included in the packet confirmed the $400 off of $500 as well as a 10% bonus if you deposit the cashback into a Bank of America checking/savings account.

I think you're good to go. You have 90 days so if the bonus doesn't post after your first statement then you still have 2 to go...

Make sure you choose payment type as:
"Goods/Services"

I was out of town and saw it that night. :(
Even if you see this deal, you got to apply rightaway. Don't wait.
A couple of weeks ago, I saw it the first time, I didn't apply that night. It was dead the very next morning. Same thing for the second time. Finally, applied immediately when I saw it was alive a couple of days ago. Easy $400. :-)

I know what you mean. I jumped on the Chase Freedom card with the $350 bonus when it was active for a couple of hours 2-3 months ago. :)
I have a strange situation on which I am hoping to get some insight.
I was approved (and very pleased) for the offer and thought I would be getting $400 cash back (as the offer states) for $500 spent.
However, they are now telling me that the $400 cash back is actually rewards points (rather than cash back) and the value is around $25.
Is this correct that people have only gotten $400 in Ultimate Rewards rather than $400 cash back which was my expectation?
Any insights anyone can share would be very much appreciated.

Ultimate Rewards is a Chase program. I assume a Bank of American card would use WorldPoints? How did you calculate the value as $25?
@ Mia, I certainly may have called the program by the wrong name
Regarding the $25 value, that's what the agent said the approximate value of the points was. Is that correct?
Have others gotten $400 cash back on $500 spent which was my expectation?
Thanks for your help.

I think you spoke to a misinformed CSR. I signed up for a BoA Cash Rewards card about a year ago when the offer was $250 cash back after $500. The BoA system requires you to redeem in 2500 point increments which is worth $25 or $27.50 if you redeem for cash in your BoA checking account. You can also redeem for a number of gift cards, statement credits, or a check. For this offer you should receive 40k points after meeting the spending requirement.
