Bank of America Premium Cards
Anyone know of any new, or old, premium offerings by BofA? My Merrill card was recently moved to the BofA Premium Rewards, but I'm wondering is the Octave is still around or any replacements?

I read somewhere online that octave card has been discontinued. I haven't seen other BofA premium cards out there. So far the BofA Premium card is BofA New premium card.

Does Bank of America have cards that give Delta Lounge Access or free companion certificates? No, but I'm sure BoA doesn't care much for doing so after running the numbers. The Chase Sapphire Reserve, for example, is very costly for Chase... Although Chase absorbs the cost anyways. Offering more basic cards gives BoA a chance to give more money to their shareholders because people would just abuse the perks of a premium card anyways.

I get more than enough value from the Premium card to pay the fee. Last year alone, I cashed out almost $1400 in cash back along with the $100 airline credit. It's more than worth the $95 if you're a Platinum Honors client. I don't care that it doesn't offer Delta access - I have the Platinum Amex for that.
