Bank of America lets the business pick where it earns 3% cash back. The choice categories are gas stations and EV charging stations (the default), office supply stores, travel, TV/telecom and wireless, computer services and business consulting services. Dining earns 2%, and the 3% and 2% rates apply to the first $50,000 in combined choice category and dining purchases each calendar year before dropping to 1%. The annual fee is $0 and there is a $500 online cash rewards bonus offer. The card pulls ahead for owners who already bank with Bank of America: members of Preferred Rewards for Business can earn up to 75% more cash back on every purchase, which Bank of America says can mean up to 5.25% in the choice category and up to 3.5% on dining at the Platinum Honors tier. Without that relationship, the base rates are close to the U.S. Bank Triple Cash card, which has four fixed 3% categories rather than one chosen category.
