    Editorial take: Bank of America Travel Rewards

    The no-fee version of Premium Rewards. Only shines with BoA's Preferred Rewards boost, otherwise the Capital One VentureOne or Wells Fargo Autograph beat it.

    Editorial take: Robinhood Gold Card

    Common questions

    Which card has the bigger sign-up bonus, Bank of America Travel Rewards or Robinhood Gold Card?
    The Bank of America Travel Rewards has a public bonus (25,000 points, worth roughly $250), while the Robinhood Gold Card doesn't advertise one right now.
    Is the Bank of America Travel Rewards's $0 annual fee worth it compared to the Robinhood Gold Card?
    The Bank of America Travel Rewards has no annual fee, so the question is whether the Robinhood Gold Card's $50 fee is justified by its perks. If you'll use enough of the Robinhood Gold Card's benefits to clear $50 in value annually, it's worth it; otherwise stick with the Bank of America Travel Rewards.
    Can I have both the Bank of America Travel Rewards and Robinhood Gold Card?
    Yes, since they're from different issuers (Bank of America and Robinhood) the application rules don't conflict. Many points enthusiasts hold both, they pair well when one earns flexible bank points and the other earns a different currency.
    Should I get the Bank of America Travel Rewards or the Robinhood Gold Card first?
    Get the one whose sign-up bonus you can hit comfortably without overspending. Bank of America Travel Rewards: $1,000 spend in 3 months. Robinhood Gold Card: no published min spend. Pick the easier minimum spend if you're new to points; pick the larger bonus if you have planned big purchases coming up.
