  • +Clean flat-rate earning with a real $200 bonus
  • +No cash advance or foreign transaction fees either

Where it costs you

  • −Membership is limited to Washington State, select Oregon and Idaho counties, and a short list of partner groups
  • −1.5% trails the 2% flat-rate leaders
  • −No intro APR on this card: BECU reserves its 0% offer for the separate Low Rate card

The Compound Verdict

On earning alone this is a midpack 1.5% card, but the package is better than the headline: a $200 bonus and no annual, balance transfer, cash advance or foreign transaction fees. Note that BECU's 0% intro APR offer belongs to its Low Rate card, not this one, so anyone consolidating debt should look there instead. The Pacific Northwest membership rules are the main thing keeping it regional.
