Issuer Rules & Restrictions

Maximum Cards per Issuer
You can hold up to 7 cards from this issuer simultaneously.
Shutdown Risk Triggers
Manufactured spending, rapid application velocity (even if within rules but deemed excessive), high cumulative credit limit across BoA products, unusual or suspicious spending patterns, defaulting on other Bank of America accounts, or significant negative changes in credit profile.
Cliff Effect Rules
Bank of America's Preferred Rewards program offers enhanced cash back rates (25% to 75% bonus) on all BoA credit cards, including the Customized Cash Rewards, based on combined balances held in BoA banking and Merrill investment accounts. This creates a 'cliff effect' where reaching higher asset tiers significantly boosts rewards value.
International Friendly
May have limitations for international use.
Additional Issuer Rules
For 2026, Bank of America's application rules for the Customized Cash Rewards card are projected to continue with the '2/3/4 Rule': no more than 2 new BoA cards in the past 2 months, 3 in the past 12 months, and 4 in the past 24 months. Eligibility typically requires a good to excellent credit score (generally 700+ FICO), sufficient verifiable income, and U.S. residency or citizenship. Applicants are generally ineligible for the sign-up bonus if they have received a bonus for this specific card product within the last 24 months. The standard sign-up bonus usually involves earning a cash bonus (e.g., $200) after meeting a specified spending threshold (e.g., $1,000) within the first 90 days. While there is no officially published maximum number of credit cards one can hold with Bank of America, practical limits often arise from total credit exposure and internal risk assessments, typically allowing for around 5-7 active cards before new applications become challenging.
