Summer is here. The season for road trips, vacations, and PCS moves. Which means gas purchases, tickets, and a litany of other expenses that come with enjoying the hottest months of the year. While Navy Federal Credit Union members know how to maximize their credit card rewards and other outstanding benefits that come with being an account holder, even the savviest veterans and active duty members may not be getting the most out of their debit cards.
Traditionally, credit cards are preferred for their ease of fraud detection and reimbursement in the event one is stolen and used for illegal transactions. However, debit card owners are also protected by Navy Federal’s Zero Liability Policy, which ensures you won’t pay for confirmed unauthorized charges. Members also have access to ID Navigator™1, powered by NortonLifeLock™1, to let you stay on top of your personal data and quickly react to potential threats for added peace of mind.
Worried about losing your physical card? Not a problem with Navy Federal, since you can save your debit card details in a digital wallet for a secure, convenient2 way to pay with your mobile device in-store and online2, in addition to freezing your card.
Debit cards offer additional perks for overseas travelers as well, giving you local currency access through ATMs, often at far better exchange rates than those you’ll receive from other institutions.
Active-duty members who set up direct deposits on their debit account are also eligible to receive their military pay a day earlier, which could be the difference between making an on-time payment or having your credit score take a hit for an overdue bill.
Since Navy Federal’s Union debit cards are provided through Visa, members can receive the incredible offers and perks available at visa.com. In addition to the everyday discounts featured, they’ll have preferred access to Sofar Sounds, a unique opportunity to explore new music in a more personal way. Sofar does this by transforming everyday spaces – like a living room or retail shop – into captivating venues for secret, live shows. Each event is intimate, and typically features three diverse acts, with no headliner. You’ll find out about the exact location 24 hours before the show. Think of it as your own musical adventure!
Debit card owners can use an exclusive ticket presale window for select shows, getting them 7 days before they’re made available to the general public. Twice a year you can also receive 1 additional free ticket per show with the purchase of 1 regular ticket.
If that wasn’t good enough, NFCU debit card holders also receive free access to our Mission: Credit Confidence dashboard, which gives you all the tools you need in one convenient place.
