Another 3% Credit Card?

The National Police Federal Credit Union just announced the Visa® Copper Cash Back Card, which earns 3% cash back on all purchases.

​The card is capped at a $25,000 credit limit, has no annual fee, and advertises “higher cash back amounts during promotional campaigns.”

​Membership to the credit union is designed for first responders and their families.

​Obviously not something everyone could get, but we’ve been seeing more and more cards offering 3% to help them stand out versus the competition.

​Daniel here - I recently did a Robinhood Gold Card Review over on my YouTube channel because this is another popular 3% card that's become a preferred option for cash back maximizers.

But the question is, can 3% credit cards be sustainable?

​Economically speaking, interchange fees are usually less than 3%...

​So banks and credit unions are likely taking a loss on some of these products to cross-sell other services - or to gain customers and then refresh benefits in the future.

​What do you think about 3% credit cards becoming a thing now?
