Both cards have similar welcome offer values and potential rewards earnings for the average spender, but the Prime Visa doesn’t provide intro APR offers or bonus cash back.

A FICO score below 580 or a VantageScore of less than 601 is considered a bad credit score. If your score falls in the bad credit range, you will face less favorable outcomes with lenders (who may charge you higher interest rates), landlords (who could deny you housing) and maybe even prospective employers (who might reject you for a job). You don't need to live with bad credit.

These two cards also offer the same welcome bonus as well, although the minimum spending requirements to earn them vary. While both of these cards come with no annual fee, there's one detail that can make one much more valuable than the other — membership in the Bank of America Preferred Rewards program.
