The Offer
- WECU has the Lux credit card with the following:
- 25,000 points (worth $250) when you spend $2,500 within the first 90 days
- 0% introductory APR on purchases and balance transfers for 12 months (no bt fee)
Our Verdict
Card earns 3x on dining, entertainment and more. They also have a $250 checking bonus, I suspect this credit card is also WA only but haven’t confirmed. You can find more 0% APR offers by clicking here.
No instant approval after pre-qualification. I do live in WA. After submitting a Docusign doc popped up, and I thought I was approved, then after signing the following message appeared: (sad)
“You are all set.
We really appreciate your business and opportunity to serve you. One of our expert Member Service Representatives will be contacting you in the next 1-2 business days with the next steps.”
Update: WECU called me one day after the application (I missed it) and again today (I missed it again). They also emailed me today. I called them back and they asked me a few verification questions such as address/which bank I have an auto loan/mortgage with. Then they approved the application. They also said they’d email me and I need to reply to the email with my photo ID. Then after they receive a copy of my ID there will be one final document I need to sign on DocuSign. Once I sign, they will mail the card to me. I haven’t received that signing link yet though.
Instant approval for 30k after doing prequalification.
How long did it take for you to receive the physical CC? I got approved last week and am wondering if it’ll arrive soon. Each day that passes is one less day for me to reach the $2.5k needed for the bonus.
Terp
I haven’t received card yet, a week later.
Card received 4/5, so a bit over 2 weeks.
WECU is a great credit union. High interest rates on their Checking and Savings accounts. Good customer service. I opened my account for the bonus, but have kept it open for almost two years because of the fantastic rates.
I came for the bonuses a while back and stayed for the high interest rate products- 8% APY on checking to $5K + 6% APY on 2.5K on savings.
Are you do20 debit card transaction to get 8% on checking?
I see they have a $25 account closure fee due to “abuse”. Are they strict with the 20 debit card transactions not being small amounts? Thanks.
Very intensive preapproval process for a credit card. Requires a great deal of information and I was still sent into “application pending” status.
Approved after a day for a 10k limit.
Thanks, added.
They also have a prequalification tool for their main cards. However, eligibility is restricted to WA residents (live/work/worship/study), family of existing members, WWU alumni, and WECU employees.
Weird, I’m getting instagram ads for the sign up bonus. Don’t live in WA and haven’t traveled there in over 10 years.
That is often meaningless, and always subject to membership approval. With certain banks, I even get bonus offers for which I do not qualify inside of online banking!
