This one is for March 15 through April 30. 4,000 point limit.
You must register by March 31. Link to BofA provided in the email.

I received the email also, which may be targeted. I was just going to start a thread and you beat me to it.

Got mine - for both cards. Hmm, my car is due for some service.
Might be time to charge my next two rent payments even though the cc fee is high.

I thought about posting it, but decided not to make others jealous if they don’t get the email.

When I posted this same promo last December it generated a lot of discussion regarding it being a targeted offer.

I am not getting these anymore. Did not get the December promo either. Harumph!

I got the email and signed up just now. Too bad it didn't begin last week; I bought my laptop last Wednesday. Oh well, let the spending begin!

Same thing for me, I paid my Car and Renters Insurance, bought a New TV and a New Phone in the past Month!

It only takes $800 of spending to max out the 4,000 points.

I was just calculating that. If you are only looking the 1:1 ratio categories, you need to spend $1000. That would give you 1000 regular points plus 4000 bonus points, so 5x earning in all. Note that the 4000 number is the bonus points max, not the total points max.

I got the email too.

I got the email yesterday. (I would pay my rent by credit card if they didn't charge me $50 to do so - outrageous.)

I think my fee is $35, but it may have gone up. I'm thinking 5x points for my rent will be worth the fee considering all the points I will get. It think AGR points are worth about 38 cents.

Well, you made me jealous. I didn't get promo offer and neither did my wife. We both have active AGR cards.

 

[City of Miami]

It think AGR points are worth about 38 cents.

Really? How? Based on redemptions an agr point averages ~ 2.2¢
Perhaps you're thinking it takes 38 points to cover $1 of Value fare.

It’s strange that they’re still doing promotions like this given that the card is no longer being marketed by BofA.

 

[Amtrakfflyer]

The exact same time Citibank is offering 5x Advantage miles on their AA credit card. They're make me choose between them

Ditto! Landlords are Sharks!

Received this yesterday.

The limitation is only 4000 Pts. MOSQUITO MEAT!!!

I think one probably has to have less than a quarter of a million points or some such, to get this offer, or have been involved in some other unmentionable sin. I did not get it yet.

I got it yesterday. Will probably run rent through it one month to max out the amount of bonus points earned.

IIRC, when they did the last promotion, I didn't get the email until 3 days after it started.

 

[daybeers]

I didn't get the last one in the fall, but got this one. Not a tremendous amount since it maxes out at 4000 but nice nonetheless!

 

[Exvalley]

I got this offer. I just purchased $900 worth of airfare on the AGR card to get my bonus points. I had not been using the AGR card for a while because I have switched to the Capital One Venture X.

I got an offer to buy points at a discount. When I went to check what the going prices were, the site crashed. So I went on with whatever else I was doing.
