Maximize Rewards: Bank of America Merrill Brokerage $1,000 Bonus & 2.625% Cashback with Platinum Honors

💰 Maximize Your Rewards: Bank of America's Merrill Brokerage Bonus & 2.625% Cashback

Bank of America is offering an exclusive opportunity for Preferred Rewards members to earn up to $1,000 by opening and funding a new Merrill account. This offer is valid for both new and existing individual Merrill IRAs or Cash Management Accounts (CMAs).

🏦 How to Qualify for the Merrill Brokerage Bonus

To take advantage of this offer:

1. Enroll: Use the offer code PR1000 when opening your new Merrill account online or provide it when speaking with a Merrill Financial Solutions Advisor at 888.637.3343 or at select Bank of America® financial centers.

2. Fund: Deposit at least $20,000 in qualifying net new assets within 45 days of account opening. Assets transferred from other accounts at Merrill, Bank of America Private Bank, or 401(k) accounts administered by Merrill do not count towards qualifying net new assets.

3. Maintain: Keep your balance for at least 90 days. This short holding period is a major benefit — you don’t have to keep funds tied up long to earn your bonus.

4. Earn: Depending on your qualifying net new assets, you can receive a cash reward as follows:

   • $20,000 to $49,999: $100

   • $50,000 to $99,999: $200

   • $100,000 to $249,999: $400

   • $250,000 or more: $1,000

Your one-time cash reward will be credited to your IRA or CMA within two weeks following the end of the 90-day period. If your account is enrolled in an investment advisory program, such as Merrill Edge Advisory Account, Merrill Guided Investing, or Merrill Guided Investing with an Advisor, any cash reward deposited into your account will be subject to the program fee and other terms of the investment advisory program.

💳 Unlock 2.625% Cashback with Preferred Rewards Platinum Honors
