Just saw this while logging into my account earlier. Looks like they've updated the design on all of their core cards. Anyone else read anything about this?
Nice!! I wonder if they'll do that to their cobranded cash cards? Probably not 
That Cash Rewards is looking snappy though!
I had not seen or heard about that! That's good news. I think they were due for an update!
I'm hoping they made the Premium Rewards a metal card?? But I'm not holding my breath for it. I just think it needs a more distinctive look as their "flagship" card.

They also redesigned the debit card to be that awful vertical "portrait" style. Not a fan.
Agreed re disliking portrait orientation. Other than that, they look good. Just got a replacement debit card yesterday. Pic below. I assume the CC's will be essentially identical.
Front is very clean. I didn't need to redact anything for the pic.
Everything on the back is easy to read. Dark print on solid, light background. One nit: the important info on the back is printed with a medium that is the tiniest bit raised. This makes me wonder if it will wear off in some scenarios.
Oof. I guess that's one way to distinguish the debit cards from the credit cards.
I'm hoping they make the Premium Rewards metal as well.
My recently-requested one is metal, or at least a very hard plastic. It feels nearly the same as my CSP, but might be a tad slimmer and lighter. It definitely feels nothing like my CR.
I was never a fan of the old PR design. I'm not sure the new design on the website was what I was hoping for, but I do think it is nicer than the original. I hope it is/stays metal. I do not know where they will put the Merrill Lynch bull on the new design. If someone tests it out, please post here. I might chat with them on the website and maybe I'll be the guinea pig.
Also, as I look closely at the PR, it does appear to have something sandwiched in between the 2 sides, similar to the CSP.

Thanks for posting that picture. It is attractive...I just wish it were landscape HA! But as someone else said, it will help differentiate the debit from Cash Rewards.
Sadly, a lot of banks and credit unions are starting to introduce these portrait style cards; they claim that it makes more sense to be positioned that way as this is how cards are "dipped." Never mind that contactless is quickly replacing dipping the chip.
BofA offers MyExpressions banking which allows for a debit card and check designs for various colleges/universities, sports teams, professional organizations etc. I noticed that all of those cards were recently updated as well with un-embossed cards showing the contactless symbol and the updated Bank of America logo. All of them have been updated except the MLB debit cards so I am interested to see what they do with that as my BofA debit card is MLB.

@Curious_George2 it's good that it is easy to read... with my latest CR replacement, I can barely read the dark gold letters on the back with the metallic red background.
