Bank of America Royal ONE Visa Signature is a no-annual-fee points card from Bank of America. Its best everyday rates are 2x on gas stations, and 2x on grocery stores; everything else earns 1x. There is also 3x on Royal Caribbean, a single-merchant rate. Rewards are Royal Caribbean points that only spend inside that program, so we value them at roughly a third of a cent each.
On our reference budget of $24,600 a year it returns about $110, an effective 0.4% back. The welcome bonus, 45,000 points after $2,000 in 90 days, is the strongest reason to open it in a given year.
Get it if you already fly or stay with Royal Caribbean often enough to use the perks. A general travel card earns points that go more places.
2 points per dollar spent on gas and EV charging station purchases
