It is important that you read the details of the promotion you are applying for, and enroll for the specific credit card the promotion advertises. If you apply for, but are not approved for, a specific card product then Bank of America may consider you for a different credit card which my offer a lower amount of bonus miles than the credit card you originally applied for.

But a side effect of this convenience is the tendency to spend more money. So be conscious of what you are spending and don't think just because it's easy to use means it will be easy to pay later.
