This offer is not available to either (i) current cardholders of this credit card, or (ii) previous cardholders of this credit card who received a new cardholder bonus for this credit card within the last 12 months. The additional $300 cash reward is not available to individuals who currently have a Traditional BECU Visa and switch to a Cash Back Rewards Visa or to individuals who have opened a different Cash Back Rewards Account within the previous 12 months. You will receive $300 cash back credit which you must redeem. To qualify and receive your bonus, you must make purchases totaling $3,000 or more in the first 3 months from account opening. (“Purchases” do not include balance transfers, cash advances, travelers checks, foreign currency, money orders, wire transfers, or similar cash-like transactions, lottery tickets, casino gaming chips, racetrack wagers, or similar betting transactions, any checks that access your account, interest, unauthorized or fraudulent charges, any fees of any kind, including an annual fee, if applicable.) After qualifying, please allow up to 30 days for bonus to post to your cash back balance. To be eligible for this bonus offer, account must be open and not in default at the time of fulfillment.

50% Introductory Annual Percentage Rate (APR) for twelve (12) months from date of account opening. After that, your APR will be from 13.24% - 25.24%, based on your credit-worthiness and card selection. This APR will vary with the market based on the Prime Rate.

60.20% currency conversion fee may be included in the purchase or withdrawal's overall total when using a debit card; however, the fee will be refunded within 3 business days contingent upon the account being open at the time of refund.

We periodically evaluate the credit rating of each member who has a credit card, personal line of credit, personal loan, auto loan, boat loan or RV loan with BECU. If you've improved your credit score sufficiently and your account is in good standing, you may earn a better rate (if you're not already receiving our lowest rate).
