Bank of America Corp. is turning to private jets and exotic cars to compete with American Express Co. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. and lure big spenders to its credit cards.

The Charlotte, North Carolina-based company revamped its rewards program and debuted a new $550-a-year metal credit card that offers extra points on travel and dining purchases along with a $300 travel credit, according to a statement Thursday. Customers can apply for the card online starting in February.
