Bank of America Premium Rewards Credit Card

The Premium Rewards card earns its $95 fee back fast through up to $200 in annual credits ($100 airline incidental plus up to $100 Global Entry/TSA PreCheck), then layers on 2x travel and dining and 1.5x everything else with no foreign fee. The real reason to hold it is Preferred Rewards: top-tier members can boost earning by up to 75%, which is where it pulls ahead of a Chase Sapphire Preferred for BofA loyalists. If you don't bank with BofA, the lack of transfer partners and no lounge access make pricier cards a better fit. Use the airline credit and the fee is effectively $0 net; verify the credit terms on BofA's site.
