Bank of America has announced a partnership with Visa to offer new Customized Cash Rewards and Unlimited Cash Rewards Visa card applicants the option to select a limited-edition FIFA World Cup 2026 custom card design. The designs will be available starting December 4, 2025, and remain accessible until July 2026.
As the Official Bank of FIFA World Cup 2026, Bank of America and Visa, the Official Payment provider for the tournament, will present two different card designs from which new applicants can choose.
“We are bringing a unique opportunity directly to new Cash Rewards cardholders, helping them be part of this unforgettable global event,” said Mary Hines Droesch, Head of Consumer and Small Business Products & Analytics at Bank of America. “This reflects our ongoing commitment to connecting clients with world-class experiences, alongside the exceptional value our Cash Rewards cards deliver to stretch their dollars further.”
In addition to the special card design, Bank of America and Visa are offering an exclusive opportunity for new Cash Rewards Visa credit card holders to purchase up to two tickets for select FIFA World Cup 2026 matches while supplies last. To qualify, consumers must apply for a new Customized Cash Rewards or Unlimited Cash Rewards Visa credit card between December 4, 2025, and January 5, 2026. The card must be opened by February 5, 2026.
Eligible cardholders who have an email address on file will receive an email on February 10, 2026. This message will include a unique link granting access to the FIFA ticket portal for the chance to buy up to two tickets. The link will also be available through Bank of America’s Online Banking or Mobile Banking app. Ticket sales open at noon ET on February 10 and continue until tickets sell out or through February 24, whichever comes first.
To complete ticket purchases during this window, eligible users must create a FIFA ID if they do not already have one. Tickets are sold on a first-come, first-served basis with a maximum of two per eligible cardholder; availability is limited and not guaranteed for all matches.
The ticket promotion coincides with the lead-up to the FIFA World Cup final draw scheduled for December 5. New Customized Cash Rewards Visa holders can earn six percent cash back in their chosen category (including a three percent first-year bonus) during their first year. New Unlimited Cash Rewards Visa holders receive two percent cash back (with a half-percent first-year bonus) on all purchases in their initial year. Additionally, new Cash Rewards customers are eligible for a $200 welcome bonus after spending $1,000 within the first ninety days after account opening.
