AA Virtual Gift Cards
I can confirm that a $50 AA virtual gift card did count for the airline incidental credit. ^
(Which didn't come as a huge surprise since they also trigger Amex's airline incidental credits.)
While the credit itself hasn't shown up on my online activity yet, if you use the BofA app, after selecting the credit card account, you can go to "Premium Rewards Benefits", and there will be an indicator showing how much of the incidental credit you've used for the year. Clicking on "View Activity" will show an itemized list of the transactions that have triggered the credit. For some reason, this feature is not yet active on the BofA web site (it directs you to use the app on the web site).

Is it possible to cash out rewards on the BofA Travel Rewards card by transferring to the BofA Premium Rewards card? If so, is it at full value?

Yes you can and you get full value. That's what I did when I first got the premium card. You can either get statement credit on the premium card or electronic deposit in your checking acct.

I'm a platinum honors member and have travel rewards only currently. Planning to apply for the premium rewards card and convert the travel to cash rewards.
Any cons for doing this?
For the $100 incidence credit, if I buy the american airlines gift card, how do i resell it if am not planning to use it in the near future?
