BOA does not let me convert an Alaska Platinum card to a BOA 1-2-3 or a a Travel Rewards card. All they say is that the account is not eligible for a product change (it has been open for 13 months). I did HUCA twice, and also chatted once, and got the same answer. Does anybody have any idea about what may cause this?

When you are in the BofA travel center (From the rewards page click "redeem points", then click the link that takes you into the bofa Travel center on the lower left) you can search for flights. I don't know the exact rules, but I think there has to be a Saturday overnight between the departing and return flights and the ticket + taxes/fees has to be under $400. Tickets that are close to 400 plus fees show up at a a points valuation of .01 per point.
I searched just now SAN > DAL round trip (depart 8/26 return 8/29) Many flights show up as 293.40 OR 25,000 points in the search results (this is on the business bofa travel rewards card )
I'll try to call bofa and ask what the difference is tomorrow if I get a chance.

So this is interesting. I have the option on my business travel rewards card, but not on my personal one, even though both are supposedly the exact same card.

I just got my business credit card. Looks like it can be redeemed to personal checking account.
But see my post #198 in this thread, the minimum redemption amount to get full value is 25,000 points.
You an also get the same deal with some of BofA's personal cards. I have one that is called Platinum Plus but I am not sure if they still offer it.
On other boards some claim that you can transfer to the AAA card and redeem 2500 points for full value but others say that BofA is selling that to another bank.

hey... not sure if im doing something wrong. i have a personal travel rewards card as well as the business version. i've just transferred the points from my personal card to my business card. the business card has a total world point balance of 27K. however, when i redeem for cash deposit into my personal checking at BoA, its 27K points for $162.5.... aka at a ratio of 0.6 cent per point. how do i get 1 full cent per point? thanks

Im not sure. I know personal cards can be product changed after a year. Only way to find out is to call BofA. Let us know if they can.
