SDFCU Premium CashBack+

Got an advertisement in the mail yesterday promoting this card. Said 2 % cash back on all purchases, $200 bonus on $3k spend, credit limit from $5k to $100k, and interest rate starting at 10.74%; also no foreign transaction fee or annual fee. Not looking for any additional credit myself, but didn't know if it would be of interest to anyone else.

Got this one in the mail as well.  Caught my attention because I rarely get anything from SDFCU other than the preapproved check they tend to send our yearly around Christmas.  If I didn't already have several 2% CB cards maybe I would entertain.

Nice to see they're trying to keep up with all the other 2% CB players Smiley Tongue   Wondering what their CU membership requirements are these days? I recall a long while back, way before this product came along, it was a pretty drawn-out manual process.  Maybe it changed?

I hadn't gotten anything from them in a while and was considering closing out that account since I have ones with both PenFed and NFCU.  Guess I'll hang on to the account a while longer.  Like the interest rate and starting limit.  Might be something to shoot for in the future.

Re: SDFCU Premium CashBack+

A couple of members of this forum applied for this card two months ago when it was first issued.  They were denied because they "already had  a large number of credit cards".  That scared me away from applying, and that's sad, because this is the perfect credit card for me:

-- 2% cash back on everything

-- no annual fee

-- no foreign transaction fee

-- the ability to set up the chip with PIN priority (very important to me with my frequent European travels)

Well, that pretty much takes me out of the horse race Smiley Very Happy  LOL.  The chip with PIN priority would've been a nice feature like my current Diners Club and UNFCU Elite.  Thanks for posting this @UpperNwGuy.

Re: SDFCU Premium CashBack+

SDFCU is a cool little credit union, just way too conservative for those of use with more than 3 or 4 credit cards. They'll deny you a CC but offer a SP personal loan a week later. lol
I was denied by them over two years ago for a CC. At least twice a year I get offered a live preapproved check to cash. Doesn't make much sense to me.🤔
Oh and I received an offer for that 2% card not long ago, but I dare not waste the time applying. They send those fake pre-approved CC offers as well. lol
