There are currently multiple rumors circulating regarding Navy Federal Credit Union refreshing the Navy Federal Flagship Rewards card. There are numerous reddit threads (1,2,3) where people have spoken with reps that have ‘confirmed’ the following:Â
- Changes will take place September 10
- Annual fee will increase to $95 (currently $49)
- Card will earn at the following rates:
- 4x on travel (currently 3x)
- 3x on dining (currently 2x)
- 1x on all other purchases (currently 2x)
- $100 airline statement credit (not currently offered, replaces the Amazon prime credit)
- Amazon Prime annual credit will no longer be offered
- Statement credits (up to $120) for Global Entry or TSA Pre✓ (same as current)
- Complimentary GigSky® global mobile data plan (same as current)
Our Verdict
Seems like a downgrade with the increased annual fee, card was an easy keep if you valued Prime membership before. Be interesting to see if the refreshed product offers a higher than normal sign up bonus.Â
