I’ve never had any issues using credits for travel with BOA until they did a system change about a year ago. The new search engine is HORRIBLE. It will not allow you to book using mixed seat classes anymore forcing me to book individual one way segments. Not only does it end up costing more points but an absolute nightmare getting the airline to recognize that you’re actually traveling through the segments. They used to use the Orbitz search engine which gave so many options. Not anymore. Worst upgrade ever!

Verified CustomerI like the $1000 requirement in 90 days. However I think the mileage reward of only 25000 miles is too low. How about spend $5000 in 180 days and the reward is 50000 miles or $10000 in 365 days for 100,000 miles. Now that I like

BEWARE! Due date fell on the National holiday and my bank posted the payment the day after. Was charged a late fee and when I called to have the fee waived they REFUSED to do so. I was never late with my payments not with this card nor with any others and have been with BOA for many years and it was my number one card I used. Won't be anymore.

I kept having trouble using the Travel Rewards Visa abroad. It was blocked almost every time and I needed to make international calls. This was a real pain. One or two times would be just fine to secure the safety of the card. However, I needed to call more than 10 times. The problem has never been resolved. I gave it up. I don't use this card any longer.

I applied for credit card because I love Alaska Airlines. Their associated credit card is terrible, awful inaccurate. I set up auto pay so I didn't need to worry about a late payment. I received late fees because it didn't work. I had to call and set it up with an agent. 4 months later, it took. At that point, I had a 0 balance. They took a payment of over 125.00 twice! I wanted my $$ back. It is over a week, still no check. Although they took it out of my account, they were unable to return the $$ the same way. I have done auto credit card payments in several positions, all that is needed is to enter the amount in as a minus (-).

Warning: Do not use Travel Center for your travel needs!! Better to use rewards for credit back into your account. Very difficult to change or cancel reservation. There's no direct login to travel center site. I had to call customer service # to cancel and they charged me a fee for cancelling and speaking to a rep! I will not make that same mistake again. Better to go with Capital One Travel Visa, when you make a reservation to use points you know exactly what the fees will be for cancellation, regardless if cancellation was done online or by phone.

I don't like your website login; it is a nightmare. I have had to change my password too many times to count, then when I finally do get it right, I still can't get in because of the challenge questions. All I want to do is redeem my points and cancel the account. Is that too much to ask?

As a BOA customer I thought his would be the best option. However, after using it to book travel for work and a vacation for my families I have 16,000 points which only earns me a whopping $160.00 credit toward my travel balance. Not worth it IMO.

I love it. No annual/foreign fees, good points on all purchases, good support, convenient online banking. Never had issues if setting travel alert ahead. Easy points redemption as travel credit. Additional cards for authorized users (my kid using it overseas while on exchange program, my spouse travels with additional card, no need for separate one). It covers most of my needs - the only other travel thing you need besides Americard is a no-annual-fee penalty-free debit card to use at foreign ATMs (something like CapitalOne360 mastercard)
