The Bank of America Premium Rewards credit card is a high-tier travel rewards card designed for frequent travelers who want comprehensive protections and valuable travel perks. While the card carries an annual fee that is not waived in the first year, cardholders can take advantage of up to $100 in airline incidental statement credits, a $100 credit for Global Entry or TSA PreCheck every four years, and no foreign transaction fees—making it ideal for U.S.-based travelers who fly often. Additional benefits include purchase and return protection, extended warranty coverage, auto rental collision damage waiver, roadside dispatch, trip cancellation/interruption insurance, trip delay and baggage delay coverage, lost luggage reimbursement, and emergency evacuation and transportation, providing peace of mind for both domestic and international trips. With 1.5x points on all other purchases, the Premium Rewards card is best suited for travelers who want a combination of strong everyday rewards and premium travel protections without the hassle of managing multiple cards.
