Several readers received a targeted email offer from BofA: spending in office supplies, electronics, discount stores, and online shopping can earn double cash back. The extra cash back is capped at $100, and the offer ends on September 1. This card already lets you choose online shopping as your 3% cash back category, and based on the promo terms, that rate can be doubled to 6% cash back. If you received this offer, don’t forget to activate it—it's only valid after activation.
If you’ve already maxed out this quarter’s $2,500 cap for the 3% category, then this offer doesn’t mean much.
Terms are as follows:
- Activate & earn double rewards (up to $100) on Office Supply, Electronics and Discount store retailer purchases through September 1, 2020.
- To be eligible, you first must activate this offer.
- Once activated, you will earn double the value of your Cash Rewards, up to $100 in additional Cash Rewards, when you use your account to make purchase transactions (exclusive of any fees, returns and adjustments) from the date you activate the offer through September 1, 2020.
- This offer is valid only on purchases made at office supply, electronics and discount store retailers.
- This offer is only valid on the account identified within this communication and is non-transferrable.
- Allow up to 12 weeks after the promotion ends for the promotional Cash Rewards to be added to your Rewards balance. The value of this reward may constitute taxable income to you. You may be issued an Internal Revenue Service Form 1099 (or other appropriate form) that reflects the value of such reward. Please consult your tax advisor, as neither we, nor our affiliates, provide tax advice.
- This offer will not apply to any Preferred Rewards/Preferred Rewards for Wealth Management bonus, customer bonus or account opening bonus, if applicable. Promotional Cash Rewards earned as a result of the promotion are solely inclusive of Cash Rewards earned via 1% Base Cash Rewards, 2% Bonus Category or 3% Bonus Category.
