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.
with the personal travel rewards card i don't have an option to redeem flights for points (not even for $0.01/point). not sure if i'm doing something wrong? and i believe we no longer can transfer points to FIA since both the fidelity amexes and visas cards were sold to another bank? would greatly appreciate any help (have tried searching both on google and flyertalk for more info and have come up empty
)
