Preferred Rewards Diamond and Diamond Honors | Bank of America

Skip to content

You must be enrolled in the Diamond or Diamond Honors tiers of Preferred Rewards to be eligible for these benefits or events. Due to limited availability, some offers may be open only to a limited number of Preferred Rewards members. The Lifestyle benefits are provided by third party vendors not affiliated with Bank of America. Terms and fulfillment of the offers is the responsibility of the third party vendor and not of Bank of America. Bank of America does not provide your customer information to the third party vendor, but by contacting them to take advantage of an offer you will identify yourself as a Bank of America client. In addition, if you take advantage of an offer, the third party vendor may provide Bank of America with information about you and your use of the offer.

To enroll in the Preferred Rewards Diamond and Diamond Honors tiers you must: have an active, eligible personal checking account with Bank of America®, and maintain a qualifying combined balance of at least $1,000,000 for the Diamond tier and $10,000,000 for the Diamond Honors tier in any combination of eligible Bank of America deposit accounts (such as checking, savings, certificate of deposit) and/or your Merrill investment accounts (such as Cash Management Accounts, 529 Plans). You can satisfy the combined balance requirement for enrollment with either:

i. a three-month combined average daily balance in your qualifying deposit and investment accounts or

ii. a current combined balance, provided that you enroll at the time you open your first eligible personal checking account and satisfy the balance requirement at the end of at least one day within 30 days of opening that account.

Private Bank clients qualify to enroll in the Diamond tier, and may qualify for the Diamond Honors tier based on their qualifying Bank of America, Merrill, and Private Bank balances. Refer to the Preferred Rewards Addendum to the Personal Schedule of Fees for details on accounts that qualify towards the three-month combined average daily balance calculation and receive program benefits. Eligibility to enroll is generally available three or more business days after the end of the calendar month in which you satisfy the requirements. Benefits become effective within 30 days of your enrollment, or for new accounts within 30 days of account opening, unless we indicate otherwise. Certain benefits are also available without enrolling in Preferred Rewards if you satisfy balance and other requirements.

Certain credit cards are eligible to receive a Preferred Rewards bonus. Enrolled Preferred Rewards members with eligible Bank of America® credit cards can receive a Preferred Rewards bonus of 25% for the Gold tier, 50% for the Platinum tier, or 75% for the Platinum Honors, Diamond or Diamond Honors tier on each purchase. If your product receives the 10% customer bonus, the Preferred Rewards bonus will replace the 10% customer bonus. The Preferred Rewards bonus for eligible cash rewards credit cards will be applied after all base and bonus cash rewards have been calculated on a purchase. For example, a $100 purchase that earns 3% ($3.00) will actually earn $3.75, $4.50 or $5.25 based on your tier when the purchase posts to your account. For all other eligible card types, a purchase that earns 100 base points will actually earn 125, 150, or 175 points, based on your tier when the purchase posts to your account. The Preferred Rewards bonus is not applied to any account opening bonus, if applicable. The Preferred Rewards bonus also does not apply to the bonus earn for certain programs. This information can be found in the Program Rules associated with those credit cards. Other terms and conditions apply. Please refer to your card’s Program Rules for details about how you will receive the Preferred Rewards Bonus. Program Rules are mailed upon account opening and are accessible through the rewards redemption site via Online Banking or by calling the number on the back of your card.
