BoA More Rewards Day Nov 5

[Tiny]

This is kind of neat - an extra 2% cash back for one day only (Nov 5th) for all Bank Of America credit cards.

newsroom.bankofamerica.com/content/newsroom/press-releases/2022/10/bank-of-america-celebrates-clients-with-more-rewards-day-on-satu.html

On More Rewards Day, all Bank of America consumer and small business credit cardholders will automatically earn two percent cash back, two points per $1, or two miles per $1 spent on top of the rewards they typically earn – with the bonus rewards automatically applied to their account. The offer will be in effect for one full day on all purchases made with a Bank of America credit card from 12:00 am to 11:59 pm Eastern Time on Saturday, November 5th. Purchases must have a transaction date of November 5, 2022, to qualify.

I wonder if other cards will start doing promotions like this.   

I've got a BoA 123 card... but unfortunately I can't do much spending on Saturday, but I am holding off until then to put gas in my car (bright and early) and then go on a short road trip and will fill up the tank again once I'm back "home".

I wonder why they didn't share this info with cardholders like me?  I just logged in to make sure that it wasn't posted there.

I'll make my weekly WM (grocery) run, but that's about it. I buy my gas at Costco, and they only take Visa.  My BOA is actually the lowest cashback of all my CC except for 2% at WM.  Otherwise, they pay 1%.  I am not going to buy a bunch of stuff to get 3% if I wasn't going to purchase it, anyway.

Sam's Club was doing double cash back on gas (10%!) on Saturdays in June which was really nice since that's when we were on our road trip.

I got an email earlier this week. Then forgot and didn't buy anything yesterday lol

I just (a week ago) charged $7,700 in tuition for my son on a BoA card with 0% interest until March of 2024.
The due date was 11/5 for the tuition payment. I could have waited if I would have known! 

It hurts thinking about it ....

It probably wouldn't have done you any good.  I made 3 purchases on Nov. 5.  All 3 of them now show posted on Nov. 7.

Maybe they knew it was a gimmick that they wouldn't have to pay off on.

I did get a full tank of gas purchase in on Nov. 5th. It showed as pending until this morning (Nov.9th).

The transaction now shows as having a Posted Date of Nov 7th. And if I drill down into it the transaction - it shows a Transaction Date of Nov 5th.


From the Article:

Purchases must have a transaction date of November 5, 2022, to qualify.

And my tank of gas purchase has a transaction date of November 5th.

It's not a gimmick. 

The article states:   Purchases must have a transaction date of November 5, 2022, to qualify.  

Check your 3 purchases. Drill down into them to see the transaction date - as long as it's Nov 5th - you should get the extra cash back on them.
