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).
Apparently I'm not allowed to post urls but here's an image of what I'm looking at: imgur . com/cifRaKC (remove the spaces)

Thanks for the head's up. I'm doing the same thing. $50 charge just showed up online, so I will wait the 7 days to see if it gets credited. I'll let everyone know if it does.

Any one know how Expedia.com shows up on a credit card?

Would I be eligible for the $100 airline credit from Expedia?

Thanks

I did a random amount Southwest gc (under $20) and it didn't trigger the credit (yet). I checked the app as directed and $0 has been used and no credit is indicated elsewhere in the transaction history either. It's been 6 says since it posted...will update in a few days but not looking good. Did the AA trigger it right away in the app?

I bought AA gift card on 9/30 and transaction posted on 10/2. I have not yet received any credit yet, but can confirm that my bofa is showing that $50 has been used. It changed sometime in the last few hour only, as i'm pretty sure i checked in the evening and it didn't show anything in the bofa app. So, it seems to be working for AA gift card. Though, it took almost 5 days to reflect in the Bofa app (Incidental charges) and no idea how longer it will again take to issue the actual credit

Officially been 7 days and nothing indicated in app or otherwise, so it doesn't look good.

Starbucks reload

DP: Starbucks reload doesn't register as 3.5 points but 2.625. although CSR card used give 3.5 points. Oh well

I wonder how their price rewinds/extra insurance on purchases work through the card. I'm Ph, the only real difference between this and CSR for me is priority pass (which I think is great)... If the insurance/extended wrranty on purchases is the same it seems worth it if we can max out the annual fee..

May downgrade my CSR as I would be paying $150 for essentially priority pass. Unless I'm missing more on the extended warranty features?

Of course you can't move points to other airlines either.. but PR is 2.6% with PH versus how much is a CSR point worth...?

Anyone thought about paying taxes with this card? Looks like there's a charge of 1.9% or so to pay taxes with a CC.. If I got one and as a platinum rewards member I would be ahead 0.75% I believe... I have a large tax burden coming up so this might help.....

I don't BofA has price rewind. It doesn't offer price protection. But it has a 90 day to return an item if you cant return it. The insurances on CSR are way up there. At least the CSR covers primary coverage for car rentals. The Bofa is secondary. I think the CSR card is the best travel card out there if you travel a lot.

I paid my taxes with BofA travel card. I still earned 0.75 after the fee.

I’ve been doing this for years on my boa travel card with plat honors. Pay1040.com has the lowest rate according to the irs. I believe it’s like 1.8%.

Regarding travel insurance, does anyone know what the 'covered' reasons are?

"Provides reimbursement of up to $5,000 per person, per trip, for the unused prepaid non-refundable travel expenses including passenger fares, tours, and hotels if you have to cancel due to a covered reason."

Most airlines refund cancellation/change fees on non-refundable tickets for 'covered' reasons s.a. medical/family emergency already.
