There is no limit to the amount of points that cardholders can earn, but points will expire after five years.

This card also provides various benefits and services including a personal concierge service, identity theft recovery, and absolute fraud protection. Therefore, those who would like to participate in the reward program and will take advantage of the introductory rate will benefit most from what the Bank of America® Accelerated Rewards™ American Express® Card has to offer. |
