TERMS & RESTRICTIONS
- Offer valid for new and existing individual Merrill IRAs or Cash Management Accounts (CMA). Cash bonus offers are limited to one CMA and one IRA per accountholder.
- Eligible Merrill IRAs are limited to Traditional, Roth, and owner-only SEP IRA.
- Must fund your account with qualifying net new assets within 45 days of account opening
- Must maintain the funded balance for at least 90 days
- To qualify for the listed bonus tiers ($100, $200, $400, $1,000), you must be enrolled in Bank of America Preferred Rewards as of 90 days after funding. If not enrolled, lower bonus amounts apply: $100 for $20k-$49k, $150 for $50k-$99k, $250 for $100k-$249k, and $600 for $250k+.
- Qualifying net new assets are calculated by adding incoming transfers and subtracting withdrawals over the preceding 24 weeks
- Assets transferred from other accounts at MLPF&S, Bank of America Private Bank, or 401(k) accounts administered by MLPF&S do not count towards qualifying net new assets.
- This offer does not apply to business/corporate accounts, investment club accounts, partnership accounts, certain fiduciary accounts, UTMA/UGMA accounts, 529 Plan accounts, or to any types of accounts held with other business units of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (MLPF&S).
NOTES
- [Source: merrilledge.com/offers/1000offer, verified 2026-08-04] Tiers: $100 ($20,000-$49,999), $200 ($50,000-$99,999), $400 ($100,000-$249,999), $1,000 ($250,000+). Under $20,000 earns nothing.
- "Maintain your balance for at least 90 days."
- Not churnable: the official terms state "Cash bonus offers, in the aggregate, are limited to one CMA and one IRA per accountholder" — a lifetime cap per account type, not a repeatable bonus.
- The full $1,000 tier requires BofA Rewards enrolment. Without it the top tier pays up to $600 at $250,000+.
- Offer material expires 10/20/2027 per the compliance code MAP8813832-10202027 in the official page footer.
