Don't app for anything six months prior to a mortgage is the general rule.

Got it, well I will be applying for this after I close on my house then. Good to know for the future, I wouldn't mind a 15k LOC just sitting around!

Like any other card (the actual limit).  It just adds the Signature benefits to the card.

All but the part that you actually charge over your credit line like most signature cards... you can not with Navy.

It doesn't really seem that great to me. You get one point for one dollar spent but to redeem 1 to 1 you have to redeem 7500 at a time.

Yes, the rewards sucks. But I don't remember seeing it any where on their website states, "To redeem 1 to 1 you have to redeem 7500 at a time". Where did you get the info?

Re: Is it worth the HP to get a Navy Federal cashRewards credit card?

But for some one like me, I push 5,000 through each month with ease so getting to 7500 is easy.

I just had them take 5,000 from my nRewards over to a nCashRewards signature. Very worth it in my book.

Why wouldn't you be using Flagship for 2%?
