For someone that has this card, can you tell me if you are getting the 25% to 75% bonus right away? I am trying to understand if that bonus gets credited right away or whether you get that bonus at the time of redemption. I believe the cash rewards product gives the bonus at the time of redemption, but I am not sure of this product.
Right now, I am getting a 10% bonus on the points at the time the transaction posts. I am trying to understand if this is an additional 10% or whether that's all that I am getting (I am currently waiting on my average balance to hit the higher tiers).

Can you recommend good (low cost) MF's/ETF's available under Merrill Edge?
Are these Vanguard ETF's availble - VTI, VXUS, VGTSX, VOO, VXF?

I know for sure VTI & VXUS are available. I'd assume all the other ETFs are available too, it's a brokerage firm, after all.
Most of the mutual funds are also available, but they have "transaction fees" that are apparently not commissions (and therefore aren't waived), which is inconvenient. (e.g. VWENX is there.)

You can't get VWENX, only VWELX. Admiral shares is not available at Merrill Edge.

Can anyone comment on how tolerable it is to use the BOA "Travel Center"?
According to the terms, you earn "3 points per dollar (consisting of 1.5 bonus points and 1.5 base points) for the first $6,000 in airline purchases (up to 9,000 bonus points) made at the Bank of America Travel Center each calendar year. All other purchases made at the Travel Center, excluding insurance purchases, will receive 3 points per dollar with no limit on bonus points."
So I assume for a Platinum Honors level person...this would equate to 4.125% points return? Can anyone confirm if they apply the bonus to the full 3 or just the 1.5 base?
