How to Apply for the DCU Visa Platinum Rewards Credit Card

Alongside their regular Visa Platinum Credit Card, DCU offers a Visa Platinum Rewards Credit Card; a credit card with all the familiar features plus a lucrative rewards program. Cardholders will receive 1 point for every $1 they spend and if they want to earn bonus points, shopping through the DCU portal or at the Point Perks Mall will increase the rewards opportunities. Every $1 spent at More Points online store will earn users an extra 3 points, and every $1 spent at Perks Points Mall will award users an extra 5 points. These points never expire and you can redeem them anytime for gift cards, merchandise, or travel purchases. The downside of this is not many people use these online portals to do their shopping. If you’re looking to redeem points for a trip or an expensive purchase, you’re better off getting a card with a rewards program that suits your spending habits. The best thing about the DCU Visa Platinum Rewards Credit Card is that there are very few fees attached to it. Cardholders pay no annual fees, no cash advance fees, and no balance transfer fees, and the interest rate is quite reasonable. DCU has branches in Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire, so only people living in these areas will find this card enticing.
