How to Apply for the Affinity Credit Union Low Fee Gold Choice Rewards MasterCard

The Affinity Credit Union Low Fee Gold Choice Rewards MasterCard is a card that makes earning rewards, and maintaining additional safety and security for you and your family, affordable. With this card, the user is essentially trading in 2,000 of the bonus welcome reward points in order to pay half of what the regular Affinity Credit Union Gold Choice Rewards MasterCard costs annually. In order to ascertain whether this card is right for you, it is important to review what the MasterCard reward points can actually be used for and whether or not the 2,000 welcome reward points are worth $60 or not. As this is the only main differentiation between the Low Fee and the regular Gold Choice Rewards MasterCard, investigating into the actual value of the reward points should be the deciding factor. Should you be interested in acquiring this credit card, review our application guide below.
