If you’re carrying a Bank of America credit card, you may be eagerly awaiting the financial institution’s third annual More Rewards Day, which takes place on Nov. 7, 2024.
On More Rewards Day, you can earn a generous bonus while preparing for the holiday season or covering your everyday expenses with your Bank of America credit card. Extra points, miles and cash back will hit your account within two billing cycles. Keep reading to learn more.
More Points, Miles and Cash Back
The bonus points, miles and cash back you rack up on More Rewards Day are on top of your regular rewards. All Bank of America personal and small business credit cards are eligible to receive the promotional rate. There’s no need to enroll to participate in the event — as long as your account is open and active on More Rewards Day, you’re eligible to earn the bonus.
What If My Bank of America Card Doesn’t Earn Rewards?
You can still participate in Bank of America More Rewards Day even if your credit card doesn’t typically earn rewards. Nonrewards accounts can earn 2% cash back as a statement credit on the first $2,500 worth of purchases, which equals a $50 statement credit maximum.

Are There Any Restrictions?
All new credit card purchases are eligible for the rewards bonus. However, you can’t earn the extra points, miles or cash back on balance transfers, cash advances, account fees or interest charges. The promotional offer also doesn’t apply to customer or account-opening bonuses. If you’re a Preferred Rewards member, you won’t receive the Preferred Rewards bonus on the points, miles or cash back you earn during the event.
In addition, purchase transactions must be dated Nov. 7, 2024, to be eligible for the promotional rewards rate. The merchants you buy from may delay processing a transaction, and if processing gets delayed 90 or more days, that purchase won’t be eligible for the extra rewards.
