Footnote 
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.
Footnote 
Credit 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. If you enrolled in Preferred Rewards before May 26, 2026 your credit card account may be eligible for an extended card benefit. Visit the activity section of BofA Rewards for more details. Other terms and conditions apply. Please refer to your card's Program Rules for details about how you can 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.
