    I'm a big fan of Credit Unions. I am currently in 11 of them:
    Golden 1
    Alliant
    Lake Michigan
    Navy
    Penfed
    Langley
    Key Point
    Unify
    PSECU
    Service
    Andrews
    Credit limits are higher than banks imo.
    Overall experience is better than dealing with the big banks also.

      I am in a bunch myself. Of the ones you listed, I am in Penfed, PSECU, Alliant, Service, and Andrews. I joined some of them, because they have sign up bonuses if you open an account with them. I am not eligible for Navy FCU, because I am not in the military, and do not have a close relative that is in the military. Each credit union offers something different, so what you might like someone else might not like and vice versa. Also, some have open eligibility, and some do not.

    The Penfed Platinum card has some really good bonuses and no annual fee. Also a lot of the gas cards with 5% back on gas do not include charging stations if you have an electric car. However the Penfed Platinum also includes charging stations with their gas cash back. I have an electric car so that is really good for me and also if your thinking of going electric in the future. After having a good experience with Penfed on my credit cards I refinanced my car through them at %2.1 (when interest rates were low) with a $150 sign up bonus for transferring my loan!

    NFCU eligibility: if anyone in your family has ever served you're eligible. I told them my great grandfather that passed away in 2006 served and they said "great you're eligible". No proof. He did serve so if they ever ask I could get it but yeah they're not going out of their way to make sure this is true.

Yeah my grandfather served too, I just wasn't sure which war he fought in and that was the problem, and going to a library or government website to find out that information is tedious, but come to find out, he actually fought in world war 2.

    Well again great info and good delivery.
    One caveat is Credit Unions are not as kind as one might think. If you are retired with tight income stream they are tougher on you. Navy Federal has no branches in Chicago the closest is in Gurnee about 60 Miles from dowtown(approximate guess, lol). There is a tortuous Train/bus route. I like having staffed branches. I'm ex military so I am a member angling for finally getting Navy & Penfed by '23/24.

    I have also heard about the Chevron FCU and Spectrum CU max rewards credit cards. They earn 5% back in 2 categories that you choose similar to the US Bank Cash+. They offer cards through a partnership with Elan Financial Services. Also, I have the Redstone Visa Signature Credit Card. I received an email stating that starting on 1/1/2023 it will earn 5% back on restaurant and gas purchases, 3% back on groceries, discount stores, wholesale clubs, utilities, phone, and streaming services, and 1.5% back on everything else.

    While that aerospace may be one of the best cards you can have, USbank Visa Signature is a close comparison honestly and can be obtained. USbank offers. X2 5% categories while aerospace only has x1 5% and x1 4%. USbank offers 2 percent in one category and aerospace space 3 percent one category with 2 percent back on everything else while USbank offers 1 percent.
