I don't know of Bank of America ever publicized this card. I applied through a personal banker. I had no idea at the time it was such a good deal.

+1 for BofA Bankamericard Travel Rewards secured card being the best of its kind. The upper limit for the credit line is 10k. The card is reported as a secured card, which is not as valuable as an unsecured card with the same credit limit from a prime lender when you apply for a card and get your application manually reviewed.
That's news to me, I didn't know that BOFA had their Travel Rewards available on their secured card? I had only heard of the 1-2-3. You're absolutely right though about it's not being publicized, not sure why the 1-2-3 rewards (or even better the Travel ones if that works for you) make it the best secured product around.
Their website last I checked actually says something like $4999, but I recently had a 5K secured card through them (post their listed limit on their website) so I know it's not entirely accurate.
@bahbahd: the only secured card I know that will go up to 50K is the SDFCU (State Department) and actually I think it tops out at 100K; comes with a EMV chip too which is the only secured card I'm aware of which does that if you travel in Europe at all. I looked into it when there was a good chance of my being sent to the UK but while the project got killed, it did look like a good card. +1 to Crashem for that information originally.

Oops, I wanted to say 'Cash Rewards'. Sorry. I don't know if their Travel Rewards card also a secured version. Never seen and never asked.
