Any data points on holding more than one of this card? I'm thinking of pulling the trigger and applying for another one, since BoA seems so nonchalant about people holding multiple Alaska and multiple MLB cards.

Converting BoA TR points to cash

Can I convert points to cash by buying travel and then canceling? E.g. would Southwest work?

Thanks
Nik

You can redeem points for it, sure, but you can't apply the $100 annual credit.

You're confusing cards. The $100 credit is the Premium Rewards card, not this one.

Thanks for the replies. I'm not referring to the $100 annual credit, but to my BOA travel rewards points balance. Is a NYC metrocard purchase considered a travel purchase and redeemable against my BOA Travel rewards card points balance.

Yes. At least TVM purchases. Not sure about easy pay refills.

I could have sworn this post was in the PR thread.

Link to Bank of America travel center

I have used the travel center in the past to get more points on the travel rewards card, but now I can't seem to find the travel center anymore. Google doesn't show any results. Does it still exists?

Anyone have the direct link or how to get there ?

The travel center shut down sometime last year.

I found it through an old bookmark in Safari! It still works. How can that be if it was shutdown? Do you think I'll still get extra points when using it?

They sent a bill insert that said you wouldn't receive extra points after the shutdown date, but the insert also said it was shutting down, so it's worth trying and being the data point we'd like to see.

Interesting. I never received this notice and my Bank of America Travel Rewards card still has access to the Travel Rewards Booking Site where you earn 3X points per dollar and it advertises that you earn 3X points per dollar and the terms & conditions on my account also advertise this as well. Granted, I have never used this feature before but am surprised that others are stating that it has been eliminated. I am able to access mine through the rewards tab on the Bank of America website and then clicking on "Learn more about your Rewards Program", then a new page launches and selecting the "Earn Bonus Points" tab which shows the Travel Center and mentions I will earn 3 points per dollar. Hope this helps.

I tried this way just now, and when clicking the link saying I'll get 3 points per dollar I get this:

Error occurred while processing request
We are temporarily unable to complete your request.
We know your travel plans are important, so please try again later. Thank you for your patience.


Still the direct link works for me (I remove the token at the end of the link, but it still works)

I've used the travel site numerous times last year. it's still linked off the TR card page, through redeem/use/travel center. I can search/book flights/cars/hotels as usual.

Never received anything regarding the site closure. Can you provide an image of the closure notice?

No new post in over a year, so I am assuming this isn't a really popular CC option. I have been thinking about downgrading my Premium Rewards card to this one and want to find out how easy/hard it is to redeem points against "travel" charges. Thanks in advance to anyone who has recent experiences.
