I already use BoA TravelRewards as my main card when purchasing anything from categories that my other cards don't earn a higher bonus on, so I wouldn't mind adding another card with the same benefits that earns even more points for travel and dining. My problem is that it's going be hard for me to offset the $95 annual fee. According to the fine print, the $100 airline incidental credit seems to only apply to domestic airlines. Most of my travel these days are on international airlines. Also, the TSA Pre Check and Global Entry reimbursement is useless for me, because all of my family members have NEXUS, which includes TSA PreCheck and Global Entry, yet none of the Visa Signature or Visa Infinite cards seem to allow reimbursement for NEXUS.

I really want to know if there is a way around having to use the incidental travel credit of $100 a year for incidentals. I'd love to see some DPs. I know the T&C specifically say you can't use it for gift cards from the airlines, but there's gotta be another way! I'm thinking of the MPE gift card hack with the WF Propel for example (before they shut it down)

My card should be here in a few days. I'll try to be the DP if there aren't any by that time. Wish me luck.

My wife got approved with 21k limit. She's has request link for credit line increase from day 1. She also has that link for her BofA travel card. Should pull the trigger on both? Will it be one pull for both requests?

BofA Premium Rewards card
I think it's time to have a new thread for this card. Maybe share data points of what counts as incidental credit towards the $100 credit. Here's the link for card.

FYI regarding using this card for BOA Travel Center.
With the BOA Travel Rewards, you would get +1.5% bonus points by booking via Travel Center. However, you do not get that with the new Premium Rewards card. So, using Travel Rewards card for booking flights is potential better ~4.1% vs 3.5%.
The BOA CS agent also confirmed it, and stated to use the TR card for flights only.

For the few international tickets I've searched for on the BoA Travel Center in the past few years, the prices were $10-15 higher, which negated the extra points.

This card has replaced the USAA card for non-bonus spend. I'd say it's worth getting if you are a Plat Honors client as it's essentially a 2.6% cashback card for all purchases and 3.5% back on dining/travel. I think it'll also replace the CSR for me, since I'd rather pay for my Platinum card than the CSR.
