Alliant has a credit card which earns 3% cash back the first year and 2.5% in subsequent years. It has a $59 annual fee which is waived the first year. And it has no foreign transaction fees.
Iinitially, it was only available by calling in or only to some members. For the past week or so, me and many others have been seeing the card available in our Alliant logins, and a press contact has confirmed with Milestomemories that it’s now available to all.
You still need to be an Alliant member to get the card. Joining Alliant is easy with a $10 donation to Foster Care to Success. Reader Dp7 says you can join for free by becoming a member of the Freelancers Union. Becoming a member is sometimes quick and sometimes takes a couple days for approval.
Once you have an online login, you can find the application link on the bottom-right of your home screen. Go to: Apply for a New Account > Credit Card Applications > Credit Card > Visa Signature.
Another option is to product change a different Alliant card into the Visa Signature card. You can even get $100 bonus by applying for the Platinum card.
The big question is whether the 3% signup bonus will be available for product changed cards; that 3% rewards offer is similar to a signup bonus for the Visa Signature card, and is likely only for those who apply directly. Assuming you plan on spending $20k+ throughout the first year, you’d do better signing up directly and get the 3% rate.
