Hotel bookings made through a bank's travel portal \u2014 any of them \u2014 are considered third-party bookings, making them ineligible for loyalty perks, with very few exceptions. But if you're booking independent hotels, you wouldn't be foregoing any of those benefits, nor would you be leaving points on the table.<\/p>\n<p>Another reason to use the Travel Center is if you want to use a combination of points and cash for your bookings. While not available on all cards, this option lets you adjust how many points you're willing to trade to lower the cash cost of your travel bookings.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, the Bank of America Premium Elite Card offers a 20% discount on airfare booked through the Travel Center when you pay in full with points. If you find a flight at a good price point in the portal, your points can take you even farther.<\/p>\n<p>However, always compare pricing. While you can find the same flights or hotels through a travel portal, they're not always the same price as booking directly on the airline or hotel website.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/credit-cards\/travel-portal-price-comparison\/\">Travel Portals Price Comparison: Citi Travel Portal Shines, Bilt Stumbles in AwardWallet Analysis<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"How_Much_Are_Your_Rewards_Worth\">How Much Are Your Rewards Worth?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>At a minimum, your points are worth 1\u00a2 each when redeeming for hotels, rental cars, activities, and flights. If you have one of the premium travel credit cards, you'll get a 20% bonus when redeeming for flights. Because the value of your points is relatively fixed depending on what you're redeeming them for, there are no opportunities to obtain outsize value.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/credit-cards\/bank-of-america\/preferred-rewards-guide\/\">How To Boost Bank of America Card Earnings Up to 75% \u2014 Plus More Perks<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Bottom_Line\">Bottom Line<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Bank of America travel portal is an easy one-stop shop for using your rewards from Bank of America credit cards.
