  • +The no-fee list covers categories big banks always charge for
  • +Solid welcome bonus by credit union standards

Where it costs you

  • Membership required, via tech employment or joining a partner association
  • Point redemptions average about a cent and travel options are basic

The Compound Verdict

First Tech quietly offers one of the better no-fee earning structures in the credit union world: 2x where most people actually spend, a real 20,000 point bonus, and zero fees of any consequence. Membership is the only hurdle, and joining the Computer History Museum or Financial Fitness Association solves it for non-tech workers. A keeper card for credit union loyalists.
