- Bank of America says its Enhanced Travel Center is now powered by Rocket Travel by Agoda.
- Eligible cardholders can book flights, hotels, rental cars, and activities, with rewards redemption options varying by card.
- Premium Rewards and Premium Rewards Elite cardholders should recheck portal value, eligible booking paths, and rewards redemption rules before using points.
What changed
Bank of America says its Enhanced Travel Center is now powered by Rocket Travel by Agoda. The bank describes the new portal as a broader travel-booking platform for eligible cardholders, covering flights, hotels, rental cars, and activities.
The most important detail is that card eligibility and rewards redemption are not identical for every Bank of America product. Treat this as a portal-benefit update, not a universal travel-credit change.
Key details
| Category | What Bank of America says | What to check before booking |
|---|---|---|
| Booking platform | Enhanced Travel Center powered by Rocket Travel by Agoda | Compare final price against booking direct and other portals |
| Inventory | Flights, hotels, rental cars, and activities | Cancellation rules, prepaid vs pay-later terms, and loyalty-credit eligibility |
| Eligible cards | Access depends on card type | Whether your specific BofA card can use the portal and which features apply |
| Rewards use | Premium Rewards and Premium Rewards Elite cardholders can redeem rewards through the portal | Redemption value, minimums, and whether cash plus rewards is available |
| Tracking risk | Portal bookings may have different labels and timing | Save confirmation numbers, portal screenshots, and rewards redemption records |
Who should care
This matters most for Bank of America Premium Rewards and Premium Rewards Elite cardholders who already use points or travel credits as part of their annual-fee math. A new portal can improve inventory, but it can also change the path that triggers rewards redemption, statement records, cancellation rules, or loyalty-program treatment.
It is lower urgency for cardholders who never book through issuer portals. For those users, the right action is just to note the new portal path and avoid assuming a portal price is automatically better than booking direct.
What to do next
- Before booking, compare the Enhanced Travel Center price against the airline, hotel, rental-car company, and at least one public travel site.
- If redeeming rewards, record the redemption value and any minimums shown at checkout.
- Save screenshots of the eligible card, rewards balance, booking total, and cancellation rules.
- Do not assume hotel elite nights, hotel points, or direct-booking benefits apply to third-party portal bookings.
- Update any benefit tracker row that references the old Bank of America Travel Center path.
