It also has some pretty cool perks, like <a href=\"https:\/\/clark.com\/credit-cards\/no-foreign-transaction-fee-credit-cards\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"134264\">no foreign transaction fees<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/clark.com\/credit-cards\/credit-card-car-rental-insurance\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"186554\">auto rental insurance coverage<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being able to earn $300 for opening up a 2% card that checks all these boxes sounds like a pretty great deal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But there are a couple of major catches:<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-1-credit-union-membership-requirement\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Credit Union Membership Requirement<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"h-membership-requirement-unfortunately-this-offer-is-not-for-everyone\"><em>Unfortunately, this offer is not for everyone.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Navy Federal Credit Union has <a href=\"https:\/\/nfcumembership.sjv.io\/c\/43629\/1821799\/20172\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.navyfederal.org\/membership.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">membership requirements<\/a> that would prevent many people from applying.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To gain membership and apply for the card, you must fall into one of these four buckets:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Active Duty U.S. Military:<\/strong> This includes members of the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, National Guard and Space Force.<\/li>\n<li><strong>U.S. Military Veterans:<\/strong> \u201cNo matter how long you served, you\u2019re in!\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Immediate Family Members of U.S. Military:<\/strong> This includes spouses, siblings, parents, children, grandparents and grandchildren.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Department of Defense (DoD) Civilians:<\/strong> This includes employees, contractors, retirees and annuitants.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clark met the qualifications thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/clark.com\/military\/clark-howard-military-state-guard\/\">his service<\/a> with the Georgia State Defense Force.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-2-navy-federal-could-stick-you-with-a-less-lucrative-card-instead\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2.
