Bank of America Customized Cash Rewards
$200 welcome bonus · 3% on selected categories · $0 annual fee
The Customized Cash Rewards is a flexible no-annual-fee card that lets you pick one 3% category from gas, online shopping, dining, travel, drugstores, or home improvement, plus 2% at grocery stores and wholesale clubs. That choice makes it easy to aim the card at wherever you spend the most, and new cardholders also get a $200 bonus after $1,000 in purchases within three months and 15 months of 0% intro APR on purchases and balance transfers. The real limitation is the combined $2,500 quarterly cap on the 3% and 2% categories, after which all spending earns just 1%, so heavy spenders will hit the ceiling quickly. It also charges foreign transaction fees, so leave it home when traveling abroad. It works best as a targeted category card paired with a flat-rate card for everything else.
