Compare Bank of America Preferred Rewards Tiers

Preferred Rewards program details

There are three tiers in the Preferred Rewards program – Gold, Platinum and Platinum Honors. Your tier is based on your qualifying combined balances in your Bank of America^® deposit and/or Merrill^® investment accounts. Once you are a Preferred Rewards member, you’ll keep your program benefits for at least a full year, so no need to worry if your balances dip temporarily. In addition, your balances are reviewed monthly to see if you qualify for a higher tier. If so, you’ll automatically move to the next level of rewards.
