In your opinion, is it because it has more rewards than just airfare? I have noticed very large CL's with the flagship card but it doesnt seem to have as many non-travel rewards.


It is because the rewards are flexible: cash, travel, or merchandise, there is no annual fee, and there is no foreign transaction fee.   It is the only card offered by NFCU with this combination.  For me, I have other cards that I use much more often than NFCU, so the annual fee, even though small, is not worth it for me, especially when the flagship doesn't even have EMV.


That makes sense. I have the Citi TYP and that has the EMV. It was a pain in Ireland last month not having it. I do a lot of international travel and it sounds like the GoRewards is pretty nice. I actually just started a thread for everyone to chime in about all the different NFCU cards. It will be interesting to hear the stories behind them.

+1

 

IMO, NFCU credit cards are just not competitive enough to use as my primary card for everyday use.

The flagship card actually does all three. Gives higher initial CLs, has a higher maximum limit and a faster redemption rate. Yes it has a $49 AF which is paltry IMO and can be paid for with 5,000 points. This year I already redeemed $450 in airfare a great turn around for $49.
