Re: NFCU Flagship: For those of you who don't travel....

$500 sub pays my AF for 10 years.

2% on everything is good as 99% of all cards out there.

3% on travel when it does happen.

Cellphone protection.

Tons of benefits.

Decent looking card (wish it was metal)

NFCU!

 

Rebuild started in 2014  -  $100k unsecured credit in 2017  -  $500k unsecured credit in 2024.

I have seen very few PenFed Power Cash Rewards Approvals where someone actually gets the 11.74% APR ..

Usually 16.99-17.99%Smiley Tongue


The current APR for purchases on my Penfed PCR is 8.74%.

 

Right now for new applicants the range they're offering is 14.99-17.99%

Re: NFCU Flagship: For those of you who don't travel....

* The 2% non category spend is nice.

* Starting limit of 5k

* enter Navy's shopping portal for additional category & non category points 

* 24 hrs exceptional customer support

*  tops out at 80k limit 

*  no FTF, yearly BT w/o fees, and no ATM fees

* approvals with sub prime credit scores

I understand that the combination of other cards make this card average, but for those that want simple. This card holds its own.

There are a lot worse cards to have in one's wallet or purse.   I have No Regerts about carrying one and it's on my short list of cards to carry for international travel.

I guess I'm just lucky, @M_Smart007Smiley Tongue 

 

I admit that my PenFed Power Cash APR is not 11.74% however. 

It's actually currently at 9.99%Smiley Very Happy 

*The 11.74% was their lowest advertised rate at that time.

 

ETA: 

DANG @coldfusion  and @UpperNwGuy !! 

8.74% REALLY rocks!!   Congrats!!

@Meanmchine  .. Mine is 16.74% Purchase APR.

Guess it don't really matter .. I only carry a balance if it is @AllZero Smiley Very Happy

 

So when I was refferering to "Usually" .. I realize there are some outliersSmiley Wink

And "Usually" was when Interest rates were higher.

Speaking of this card, am I right in not seeing a current SUB for it?  The last one I an find in an article expired April 30th, 2020.
