Metal BoA Premium Rewards Card

Thought I'd let you guys know my Dad's new PR card is metal, so I am going to request an additional card on my own account to see if it comes to me in metal as well. My current PR card in the old design is metal, so I've refrained from ordering the new design because other members have said it wasn't metal. Maybe my old one (and my Dad's new one) being metal is due to being Merrill Lynch branded, though. I'll update this post when it arrives in the mail.

I'll see what I can do. I am not sure I have a scale around, but I'll have to look. I'll at least get a photo of it and a comparison to my current metal BoA PR and the CSP.

Re: Metal BoA Premium Rewards Card

I'll get some photos later, but it is metal. Feels like my previous PR, and similar/identical to a CSP.

 

Anyone else have a PR that is metal? Is it only the Merrill Lynch branded ones?

Is the BofA Premium Rewards card metal now?

I applied for my BofA Premium Rewards Visa Signature card in March and the card I recieved is not metal. I saw someone mention in a video that they received their new card in the middle of the summer and said that it was metal? Can anyone confirm that they have a metal BofA Premium Rewards card? I did order a new card so will be able to confirm also in "7-10 business days" but I am interested to see if anyone else was aware in the mean time.

There was a report here on MF a couple of months ago that their Merrill-branded Premium Rewards card was a metal core laminated on both sides with plastic much like the Chase "metal" cards.   I haven't seen anyone else report a metal BoA card.

I thought I saw that too but couldn't find it when I went looking. Thanks for the response. I will update when mine comes. Mine is the standard Premium Rewards, not the Merrill-branded one. It shipped yesterday I was told so who knows how long until I get it.

My understanding was the metal versions were typically available for ML customers but maybe you can let us know once you receive the card, @Alephbet.
