New benefits clients can expect from BofA Rewards

 

BofA Rewards will bring together Bank of America’s rewards offerings into a single, more accessible experience designed to deliver meaningful value at every life stage.

 

Core benefits available to all members include:

 

  • Credit card reward bonuses (10–75%, depending upon tier) on everyday spending2
  • Cash back deals3 and discounts from popular brands2
  • Exclusive discounts on home4 and auto loans5 to support major life milestones
  • Enhanced fraud and identity monitoring through My Credit6, including dark web monitoring, social security number monitoring and identity restoration services

 

Some Preferred Rewards benefits, including but not limited to, the credit card rewards bonus and no fee safe deposit boxes, may change under the new program. Clients will continue to enjoy those benefits for at least six months after the new program launches.

 

Preferred Honors and Premier members will be eligible for additional rewards, including lifestyle benefits7 — an expanded collection of premium offers and experiences. These tiers also include monthly credits for popular subscriptions8 from leading streaming, entertainment and news services. Because Bank of America teammates and eligible retirees will be enrolled at the Preferred Honors tier, they will automatically receive access to these subscription credits and lifestyle benefits as part of their membership.

 

BofA Rewards will also feature a redesigned experience in Mobile and Online Banking, giving clients a more modern, intuitive way to view their tier, explore benefits and activate offers quickly and easily.

1To participate, you just need an eligible Bank of America checking account. Checking accounts may have a monthly maintenance fee if waiver requirements are not met.

Important Information: On or about May 26, 2026, our Bank of America Preferred Rewards program will become BofA Rewards™. All customers with an open, qualifying personal checking account will be eligible for enrollment in BofA Rewards. BofA Rewards will feature the following tiers based on your three-month combined average daily balance in qualifying deposit and investment assets: Member tier, less than $30,000; Preferred Plus tier, $30,000 to $100,000; Preferred Honors tier, $100,000 to $1,000,000; and Premier tier, $1,000,000 or more. If you are enrolled in the Preferred Rewards program on the transition date, your enrollment will be automatically changed to the new BofA Rewards program: current Gold and Platinum tier members will be changed to the Preferred Plus tier; current Platinum Honors members will be changed to the Preferred Honors tier; current Diamond Honors members will be changed to the Premier tier. Your current benefits will change following conversion to BofA Rewards. For BofA Rewards eligibility requirements and a summary of new benefits, please refer to: bankofamerica.com/BofARewards. Until Preferred Rewards becomes BofA Rewards, customers can only satisfy the balance requirement for Preferred Rewards enrollment through a sufficient three-month combined average daily balance in qualifying deposit and investment accounts. Customers who do not fulfill this requirement will be eligible to enroll in the Member tier of BofA Rewards upon program launch. 

 

BofA Rewards Eligibility. Customers can enroll and maintain their membership in BofA Rewards™ if they have an open, qualifying Bank of America® checking account. BofA Rewards tiers are based on each customer’s combined average balance in qualifying deposit and investment accounts. The minimum balance for each tier is: Member, no minimum balance; Preferred Plus, $30,000; Preferred Honors, $100,000; and Premier, $1,000,000. When you enroll, you'll be placed in the appropriate tier for your combined average balance and then moved to the highest tier you're eligible for based on one of the following:

 

  1. For the 30 calendar days following your first enrollment, the combined end-of-day collected balance of your qualifying accounts (“Daily Balance”), provided that your Daily Balance remains above the required amount for a minimum of three business days; or
  2. Subsequently, the combined average balance of your qualifying accounts calculated on the third business day of each month.

 

Eligible customers will be moved to the higher tier within 3 business days. New tier benefits may take up to 30 days to become effective. For full terms, including qualifying accounts and the method of calculation of average balances, refer to your Personal Schedule of Fees.

 

Additional Eligibility. Employees and retirees of Bank of America may be eligible for BofA Rewards membership on customized terms. For details, please call Employee Financial Services or refer to the Bank of America intranet site. Bank of America Private Bank clients qualify to enroll in the Premier tier regardless of balances. Employees of companies participating in the Bank of America Employee Banking and Investing Program may be eligible for BofA Rewards on customized terms. Refer to CEBI Program for details.

 

2Credit Card BofA Rewards™ Bonus. Certain credit cards are eligible to receive a BofA Rewards™ bonus. Enrolled BofA Rewards members with eligible Bank of America® credit cards can receive a BofA Rewards bonus of 10% for the Member tier, 25% for the Preferred Plus tier, 50% for the Preferred Honors tier, or 75% for the Premier tier. If your card receives the 10% customer bonus, the BofA Rewards bonus will replace the 10% customer bonus. The BofA Rewards bonus for eligible cash rewards credit cards will be applied after all base and bonus cash rewards have been calculated on a purchase. For example, a $100 purchase that earns 3% ($3.00) will actually earn $3.30, $3.75, $4.50 or $5.25 based on your tier when the purchase posts to your account. For all other eligible card types, a purchase that earns 100 base points will actually earn 110, 125, 150, or 175 points, based on your tier when the purchase posts to your account. The BofA Rewards bonus also does not apply to the bonus earn for certain programs and is not applied to any account opening bonus or non-standard rewards that are part of a special offer, unless we indicate otherwise. This information can be found in the Program Rules associated with those credit cards. Other terms and conditions apply. Please refer to your card’s Program Rules for details about how you will receive the BofA Rewards bonus. Program Rules are mailed upon account opening and are accessible through the rewards redemption site via Online Banking or by calling the number on the back of your card. View a complete list of ineligible cards.

4First Mortgage. The origination fee reduction and/or interest rate reductions are offered to clients who are enrolled or are eligible to enroll in BofA Rewards™, based on their rewards tier at the submittal of a mortgage loan application to Bank of America, N.A. for a new purchase or refinance loan (for co-borrowers, at least one applicant must be enrolled or eligible to enroll). The rewards tier is not subject to adjustment after the application is submitted. The origination fee reduction ($100 for Member tier, $300 for Preferred Plus tier and $600 for Preferred Honors tier) will not exceed the amount of the Lender Origination Fee. In order to receive the full Premier interest rate reduction of 0.375% the client must be approved for an eligible loan and enroll in PayPlan, our automatic payment service, designating an eligible Bank of America checking or savings account. To allow us to apply and disclose the interest rate reduction and close the loan timely, we encourage Premier tier clients to enroll in PayPlan as soon as possible and prior to the expected loan closing date. PayPlan is not available on VA and FHA products and Premier tier clients closing loans without PayPlan enrollment receive a 0.125% interest rate reduction benefit. For adjustable rate mortgages (except PrimeFirst®), the discounts are applied to the interest rate only during the initial fixed-rate period. For PrimeFirst® adjustable rate mortgages, the discount is applied to the margin and cannot reduce the margin below 0%. Some BofA Rewards benefits cannot be combined with other offers. All mortgage interest rate reduction offers may be subject to a maximum interest rate reduction limit. For further details, visit the BofA Rewards section of the Personal Schedule of Fees. BofA Rewards benefits are non-transferable and are not available with Custom Residential Real Estate financing. Credit and collateral subject to approval. Terms and conditions apply.

The maximum BofA Rewards interest rate discount on a Bank of America auto loan is 0.50%.

Discounts are only available on auto loan applications submitted by you directly to Bank of America through its website, Financial Centers, or Bank call centers.
