    Will I still qualify if I had a Cash Rewards card a few years ago? Are Bank of America’s promotions once in a lifetime like Am Ex does now?

    @mrvietnam It sounds like You still qualify.

    I have multiple BofA Cash Rewards cards. Only one is a generic Cash Rewards Card, the rest are based on some organization (such as “National Education Association” Cash Rewards card).

    Haven’t heard that they switched to this. The following DoC post mentions possible limitation on BofA CC’s (apparently there’s a limit of 8 cc’s – am not at that limit… yet):

    Does anyone know which credit reporting agency B of A uses, so I can unfreeze it long enough to get a decision on my application?

    EDIT: I found an answer:

    EX = Experian
    EQ = Equifax
    TU = TransUnion
    NI = No information

    The number next to the acronym represents the number of data points we have. In total we have 129 data points sourced from the Credit Boards Credit Pull page. Of those applications:

    106 or ~82.17% of all applications pulled an Experian credit report
    9 or ~6.98% of all applications pulled an Equifax credit report
    14 or ~10.85% of all applications pulled an TransUnion credit report

    What Happens If Your Report Is Frozen?

    There is mixed reports with Bank of America, some say they will pull another report if yours is frozen and other say they won’t. But the most recent data points suggest that they will.

    Looks like in most states that Experian will be used, although occasionally your TransUnion or Equifax report will be used instead. I hope this is useful to some people.
