Interesting Credit Unions to join

I know @M_Smart007 is famous for the credit union membership binge and wanted to see what other interesting credit unions might be hiding in the shadows with some good credit card rewards programs. Would love to hear from the community.

Coca-Cola has a credit union I want to join but I don't qualify and I can't find a workaround.

In my opinion the best credit unions are the local, geographically restricted, organizations, and those limited to certain affiliations such as universities or employers. So I would recommend looking into those for which you may be eligible.

 

Some good credit unions which are open to all are Navy FCU, PenFed, Unify FCU, Affinity FCU, Chartway FCU, BECU, Alliant CU, Langley FCU, Dept of Interior FCU, Dept of Commerce FCU, SECU MD, Digital FCU, First Technology, Dow CU, Patelco, Nusenda, Virginia CU. The list goes on.

 

Although I love credit unions, I prefer banks for rewards cards.

I've never called. I've assumed it wouldn't help and it would be embarrassing since I don't have a logical reason to want to join. I just want a Coca-Cola credit card because I think it looks cool. Not even a very good card financially.  Still honestly, if I could - I get that card and never let it go.  😆

Campbells Soup has a CU...

As far as joining, it may be easy if this paragraph from their membership page holds true. Maybe we can get our own CU Guru @M_Smart007, to give it a spin yes.gif
