The starting Navy Federal Credit Union Visa Signature® Flagship Rewards Credit Card credit limit is usually around $5,000 to start, according to forum posts. However, some cardholders report limits as high as $15,000. Navy Federal Credit Union does not include any specific credit limit information in the card's terms, though.
For the most part, Navy Federal Credit Union Visa Signature® Flagship Rewards Credit Card credit limits depend on each applicant's overall creditworthiness. Those with the highest income and best credit scores will generally be offered the highest starting credit limits.
Keep in mind that you can ask to get a credit limit increase by calling customer service number at (888) 842-6328. But it's best not to ask more than once a year. Navy Federal Credit Union will also evaluate your account periodically to determine whether you are eligible for a credit limit increase. Paying on time and keeping your credit utilization low are key for getting unsolicited credit line increases.

The Navy Federal Flagship Rewards credit card does not offer any lounge access at this time.
It's a Visa Signature, but unfortunately, not all Visa Signature credit cards offer it.

Very professional, accommodating, and easy to work with for all product lines - credit cards, loans, general banking. NFCU is generally my first choice for any banking needs.

The rate never goes above 18% despite how long you have the card and the points and rewards are easy to redeem. This card has low monthly payments and no fees

NFCU is simple and pleasant to deal with, The cash back card makes the reward available at a minimum of 50.00$ and deposits it immediately into your account at your request.

The Flagship card only reaches its full potential when paired with the More Rewards card. Flagship only gives 2X points for "everything else" meaning not travel. But groceries and gas are what most people buy, and that is where More Rewards card shines with 3X points. Flagship is good for Internet purchases at 2X points where More Rewards only gives 1X points. If you already have one of these, NF says you must wait 91 days since applying for the last card before applying for the next NF card. You must carefully count out the days on a calendar. I interpret this is saying you would apply on the 92nd day. Since underwriter intervention is the rule now, check with NF to see if you can submit a pre-consideration letter reporting your net worth. Pre-consideration puts both your income and assets right in the underwriters face so he/she cannot assume anything. Don't be an underwriter victim like me. The Credit Rating Agencies advise waiting 6 months between card requests and hard inquiries. Carefully weigh the point damage to your credit score. It affects your APR and credit limit. Credit score is more important than saving a few pennies. You cannot purchase a better credit score.

I like it, however, their reward is misleading, they credit your statement but treat that credit as a decrease to the purchase for the airfare, so you lose the reward points on that portion of the new purchase, so you are not really getting the full 2%
