What to know about Bank of America cards
The catalog at bankofamerica.com/credit-cards lists the six own-brand cards alongside co-branded airline and cruise cards, for Alaska Airlines, Air France KLM, Allegiant, Norwegian Cruise Line and Royal ONE, and a Susan G. Komen charity card 2. This site covers the own-brand cards and their student and secured versions, which share the parent card's rewards and are shown on the parent card's page 2.
Each rewards card runs its own program, with Program Rules mailed at account opening and available through the rewards redemption site in Online Banking 5. On top of those programs sits BofA Rewards, which took the place of Preferred Rewards on or about May 26, 2026; enrolled Preferred Rewards members were moved over automatically, and enrollment opened May 27, 2026 9. Members with an eligible checking account receive a bonus on eligible cards of 10% at the Member tier, 25% at Preferred Plus, 50% at Preferred Honors and 75% at Premier, with tiers set by combined deposit and Merrill balances of no minimum, $30,000, $100,000 and $1,000,000 4. That bonus replaces any 10% customer bonus a card earns, and cardholders who enrolled in Preferred Rewards before May 26, 2026 may be eligible for an extended card benefit 45.
For benefit terms, Bank of America's card terms say that certain restrictions apply to each benefit and that details accompany new account materials 6. Summary benefit pages are published for Premium Rewards and Premium Rewards Elite, and they repeat that details come with the new account materials; neither page gives a benefit administrator phone number or claims website, so the documents that arrive with the card are where claim instructions are found 810.
Application terms state that a card may not be available to someone who has it or has had it in the preceding 24 months 6. The credit card program is issued and administered by Bank of America, N.A. 6. Sample credit card agreements, including those for partner and affinity cards, are published on a separate page 3.
