Looking at my spend for last year, if I were to achieve BofA Platinum Honors status, I'd get an extra $196 in cash back per year. Not to mention my BofA spend this year went way up now that I have my curve strategy. Gold would net me $135 after the AF ($6500 *3% - $60 = $135 net per year), plus that $135 would not vest for 5 years. 5 years of IRA contributions would get me to Platinum Honors and at that point only one year of my $135 IRA match would be vested
