I promised so here it is. 😁. I was just >approved for the Bank of America Premium Rewards Elite Visa Infinite< and unboxed it after I got back into town last Friday. Pictures attached for your viewing pleasure.
This is a $550 AF premium card geared towards members of the Preferred Rewards program. As such, the card is a heavy metal card (17 grams) on-par with others in that 17-18 gram category such as the Citi Prestige, Citi AAdvantage Executive WEMC, AMEX Platinum, AMEX Centurion, Capital One Venture X Visa Infinite, City National Bank Crystal Visa Infinite, and HSBC World Elite Mastercard.
Incidentally, since Chase changed the Ritz Carlton card to the same lighter metal composite material of the Sapphire Reserve, the only heavier cards now are the invitation-only JP Morgan/Chase Reserve Visa Infinite (27 grams) and the Barclays Luxury Card Mastercards (Titanium, Black, Gold) at 22 grams.
Why mention the weights? Well the card is striking in appearance and the weight definitely adds to the statement. I didn't weigh the card myself but the screen shot is from an online video review.
Bank of America did a great job with presentation. They expedited the card to me in two days by UPS. The outer cardboard box was large and protective. The inner black box has a soft-touch material finish. The cards for myself and DW were on separate black cards inside with a decorative red ribbon to assist in pulling out the contents. A black folder made of the same elegant material held the account agreements. The Benefits and Rewards guidebook was glossy and illustrated explaining the many Visa Infinite features and benefits. And there was a pre-paid cardboard return folder for returning used cards for disposal since metal credit cards cannot be shredded or easily destroyed.
I was impressed so I wanted to share this with the community. I'm enjoying my new card. 😃
I haven't used the term spiffy since the late 80's, but man....... well, you know 
Very nice looking card.

I thought so, @JoeRockhead! It's a pleasure to carry this one, much more upscale than the original Premium Rewards, even after the upgraded it to the metal-plastic hybrid similar to Chase Sapphire Reserve - Sapphire Preferred - Ritz Carlton.
Definitely "spiffy"! 🤩
NOICE!
I'm a Platinum Honors member, and have been tempted to apply, but I don't actually travel enough, at least not the kind of travel it would be useful for, to even remotely justify the AF.
That's a nice looking card!
@FireMedic1 It's a generic return label to BofA, no personal info on it. I have the same return label from my new PRE box, too.

Well that was a scary moment at first, @FireMedic1. I checked and I didn't see anything except the return address on the mailer to send the used cards back. However, I was traveling for business today and didn't have time to investigate more thoroughly. Thanks for the heads up when you were in doubt, though and extra Kudo's to @DJRobbieD for reassuring me with the reply. Yes, the first picture when I whited-out the label was my only personal info that I'm aware.
