What is nfcu Signature rewards card vs cash rewards card?

I thought my new NFCU card was a cash rewards card but I just noticed on my profile that it's a Signature rewards card. What is the difference?

Re: What is nfcu Signature rewards card vs cash rewards card?

If your card says cash rewards on it, it's cash rewards. Otherwise it's their points reward card.

 

So, green card with "Cash Rewards" on it, its cash rewards. Blue card with "nRewards" on it, it's points.

 

The difference is obvious. One gives you immediate cash back. The other gives you reward points.

Hey MountainHiker!

the NFCU cashrewards card comes in 2 flavors.  If you have a CL below 5K, then you get the standard cashrewards card.  If you have a CL at 5K or above, it's the Signature Cashrewards card.  No difference in the rewards,  just the names are changed to reflect the benefits.  Smiley Happy

Re: What is nfcu Signature rewards card vs cash rewards card?

My Cash rewards card on my account profile says my new card is a "Signature Rewards card". Will the plastic card also say its a Signature card?

Thanks
