Currently hold the NFCU Flagship card. Good card but I don't give it the love/swipes it deserves.
NFCU send me a very interesting and well-thought-out survey.
Much of the survey centered around questions if the Flagship was upgraded in rewards and perks. -And the AF increasing to $150/year.
Below is screenshot of what the potential new Flagship card might be:
I told them I'd like to be first in-line to sign up if this card becomes available.
This potential card would make a substantial impact on my yearly swipes. I'd say goodbye to my 2% cards and move that spend to this and I'd look real hard at moving travel spend as well.
The Amazon Prime credit makes this a no-brainer for *me*.
The car rental waiver would give me the excuse I need to throw out my CSP.
Time will tell if this new card actually comes to fruition, but don't even think of trying to cut the line in front of me if they give access to it :-)

I participated in the same survey. Almost everything looks the same on mine except mine was showing a $95 annual fee.

Hmm. I currently have the NFCU Flagship Rewards card as well, but currently don't use it much because there are better 2% cards out there with no annual fee. I have not received this survey though.
I do not personally see this potential upgrade as much better (maybe even worse), with the $101 increase in annual fee from the current $49 annual fee. There are several cards with no annual fee where you can get 3x back on dining (SavorOne for example). Perhaps the 4x on travel is better than you can get on a no annual fee card but I don't travel enough for it to matter. I already get 3x travel (slightly worse return than the 4x) on the annual fee free Wells Fargo Autograph. The only reason I keep the card as it is, is for the Amazon Prime credit that offsets the annual fee and then some. Although I am currently having a hard time getting access to that credit since I already have Prime and Amazon no longer allows the ability to gift yourself a membership to use later.

IOW, a long distance between survey and actual upgrade.
I can tell you that there was a survey released for the NFCU cash rewards card and about 6 months or so later is when they did the whole 1.75% thing. It wasn't enough of an upgrade to sway me but the survey definitely had some impact.
