cash is best, i guess i can do a statement credit at 1 cent per point.
You can redeem for cash to be transferred to your link checking acct. I tested it before with my friend card credit before I went this route

I tested 60k points which equalled $600. Only business checking accts were linked so it gave me a choice where to transfer. I think you can request a check but that takes 2 weeks

Just an update. I was able to transfer my credit line from my fedilty amex card to my bofa travel rewards card and close fedilty amex with a soft pull. I'll will now transfer my bofa points to my bofa business cards and cash out. 😊

It means it's posted on your account and ready to be used.

But if you take the total points, minus the pending and "earned," what's the remainder?

Will I get shut down??

I got approved for a business card so both cards show up on my bofa online portale since I'm sole propieter. Before she approved me for the business card, she asked me how much I might spend a month. I told her anywhere between 30-40k a month so she approved me for 30k limit. I rather use my bofa travel card and earn 2.625 instead of 1 point on business card. So my question is would they shut me down if I put 30-40k on personal card instead of business card? I still put like 2000 a month on business card just to keep it alive. Only reason I opened a business card is to be able to cash out points at a 1% rate.

Does anyone have a link to the schedule of benefits for this card? Interesting in seeing what sort of purchase & travel benefits it has.

I guess all the benifits are from visa signature. All bofa promotes is chip card and fraud protection LOL
