Wish BofA had upper the AF to $150 and included Priority Pass, would have gotten me to sign up.

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.

It's not like you're dropping $550 like with the AMEX Platinum.

Even the CSP at $95 seems like a better deal, especially since you get 1:1 point transfer to various partners.
I currently have the US Bank Altitude Reserve, which is $75 ($400 - $325 travel statement credit) and includes Priority Pass. It doesn't give any bonuses for dining, but I currently use that card for all of my airline, hotel, and mobile wallet purchases, since you get 4.5% towards travel purchases when redeemed through their website.
If BoA opened up their airline incidental credit to include international airlines or other travel expenses, I would definitely apply for it just to reduce the number of cards I have to carry.
