The Offer
- Northwest Federal Credit Union is offering 50,000 bonus points when you spend $5,000 within first 120 days
Our Verdict
Points are worth 1¢ each (at least according to the terms: “Effective June 1, 2023, points will be accumulated at the rate of two points per every $1.00 charged to the Cardholder’s enrolled credit card. This equates to a 2% cashback reward on the net purchase amount.”)

Applied yesterday, existing NWFCU member for six years. Pulled Equifax in MN. Approved today for $25,000. Have not had a bank inquiry on Equifax in over six months. I'm about 15/24 since I exited 5/24 in December 2024.
Approved at (exactly) 5/24. Not in their geographic footprint and no history with them. Good credit, decent income
Can you redeem for cash (to your checking acct) or statement credit? If so, if you get the SUB and have 60,000 points, is that worth $600 cash or statement credit?
Can we buy money orders at Walmart or anywhere to obtain the 500.00 cash reward ???
It looks to be a credit card, not debit card.
Applied 8/6, Approved 8/7. I am a customer (checking, savings from a previous bonus offer) who is located out of network.
What bureau did they pull?
and what were your recent account openings/stats on that bureau (how many recent accounts/hard pulls over what timeframe)
Is the card geo restricted? The CU itself seems to be eligible through several organizations.
It's not geo restricted. They targeted me by email and I'm way OOS. I'm a NWFCU member so possibly you'll have to join first. It's worth doing if you've got a spare 5/24 slot.
12% ROS on $5k MS if you're not velocity-limited. ~10% extra on organic spend.
No it's not restricted. I got an email with the offer. I'm in MN.
I am in TX and have a checking/savings with them. I just checked my account and the CC offer page popped up with this exact offer on there, so seems I am eligible as a member in TX.
I logged into my account, but did not see the offer. Additionally, did not receive the email offer. No targeted language in the terms, so I assume anyone who is a member can apply for this card and the $500 bonus offer will be attached, correct?
Only one way to know for sure
I’ve received the offer, and I’m neither in VA nor in MD.
Anyone can join NWFCU via Florida Literacy Coalition. They even advertise it on their website. The introductory membership is $10.
