Hi everyone:

Anyone, (Eric, Meya, Fianceglobe) have any information regarding
the Bank of America® Accelerated Rewards™ American Express® Card?

I just saw it today. The card design is whatever. I'd still pick the Americard over this card because this one gives you 1.25 points for every dollar spent. The Americard gives you 1.5 points for every dollar spent as long as you have a checking account with BofA. It's not a bad choice if you want an AMEX though. I really like BofA especially now because Citibank is screwing up

Hi SMCC,

This may be a good way to compare the new Accelerated rewards card to its peers. Esentially, they are closely related, but the BankAmericard Rewards™ Visa offers 2 rates, so approval should be more likely (if you are not approved for the criteria for the 9.99 APR, they may approve you for the 15.99 rate. This is like 2 applications/pulls for 1.

FG is right. The higher in the interest rate, the easier chance for approval. Why do you think store cards are easier to get than other cards? They have high interest rates around 23-24%. The lower the interest rate, the better your credit has to be.
