Is Bank of America Still Worth It for Travelers? New BofA Rewards Rules Explained

Learn how Bank of America's revamped rewards program could quietly cut how much cardholders earn back. Hosts Sally French and Meghan Coyle discuss Bank of America's overhauled BofA Rewards program to help you figure out whether it's still worth keeping money parked with the bank. But first, they break down the latest travel headlines, including Southwest Airlines' new airport lounges and premium credit card, JetBlue's new BlueFirst domestic first class, a waterpark expansion at Norwegian Cruise Line's private island, and several credit card transfer bonuses. Then, they discuss the new BofA Rewards tiers, with tips and tricks on how the earning-bonus structure changed, whether the new subscription and lifestyle perks make up for a lower rewards multiplier, and how to decide if it's worth keeping a large balance with Bank of America or moving it elsewhere.
