Pentagon Federal Credit Union Visa Platinum Rewards Card

February 10th, 2009 David Leave a comment Go to comments

There are many great rewards credit card offers out there. If you ask me which credit cards are great for daily use, I would pick the American Express Blue Cash Card, Discover More Card and the new Pentagon Federal Credit Union Visa Platinum Rewards Card. Actually, this Pentagon Federal Credit Union Visa Platinum Credit Card is a great rewards credit card for most people with low interest rate.

There are two different types of rewards credit card to choose from: Visa Platinum Gas Cash Reward and Visa Platinum for Travel and Merchandise Rewards.

The Visa Platinum Gas Cash Rewards Card features (strongly suggested):

  • Earn 2% cash back on supermarket purchases
  • Earn 5.00% cash back from gas purchases paid at the pump
  • Earn 1.25% cash back from all purchases you make with the card during each billing cycle
  • Up to $50,000 limit
  • No Annual Fee
  • Cash Rewards credited each month
  • No special restrictions to earn your cash rewards
  • 5.99% fixed APR for the life of the transferred balance!

Visa Platinum for Travel and Merchandise Rewards features:

  • No Annual Fee
  • Up to $50,000 limit
  • Earn one point for every dollar in purchases you make with the card
  • Redeem points for travel and premium merchandise
  • 1,000 free points just for opening the Visa Platinum Travel Rewards card.
  • 5.99% fixed APR for the life of the transferred balance!

For both credit cards, you can get a low 13.00% APR for standard purchases.

There is also a student card available for college students with a pre-determined $500 limit. This student card features:

  • Low 13.99% APR — compare this low rate to the higher, variable rates offered at other institutions
  • Earn 5.00% cash back from gas purchases paid at the pump
  • Earn 1.25% cash back from all purchases* you make with the card during each billing cycle
  • Credit card in student’s name — student actually builds credit in his or her name while in school

Of course, if you want to apply for one of above mentioned credit cards, you have to be the member of the Pentagon Federal Credit Union first. Pentagon Federal is a financial services company which specializes in serving the military. It defines who can be a member of the credit union.

  • Active or Retired from the U.S. Army,Air Force, Coast Guard, Reserves, National Guard, ROTC (Advanced Cadets)
  • Members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States (VFW)
  • Civilians employed by, or retired, Department of Defense, Homeland Security, Army, Air Force
  • Pentagon Building employees
  • Employees of the Transpotomac Plaza or Canal Center in Alexandria, VA
  • Individuals who are assigned to, work at, or receive benefits from, any defense or military-based institution
  • Family members of those in the Field of Membership, including: grandparents, parents, spouse, siblings, children (including adopted, foster and stepchildren), grandchildren, and household members.

    Don’t bother with the Pentagon Federal Visa card. They have a new policy where payments made do not open up your credit for 10 days. 10 whole days. That effective reduces your credit for a third of the billing period. Plus, other cards offer better rewards and better customer service. I have since applied for a different rewards card and been much happier.
