About this card

The Bank of America® Travel Rewards Credit Card is a solid choice, particularly for those already banking with Bank of America. Its strengths lie in its lack of an annual fee and foreign transaction fees, combined with a straightforward rewards structure. The 1.5x rewards on all purchases provide consistent value, and the sign-up bonus offers a nice initial boost. However, the card's true potential is unlocked for Preferred Rewards members, who can earn significantly higher rewards. The high regular APR is a drawback. Considering all factors, the card earns a 3.6 rating.
