Original post 1/16/21:
There is a new credit card being offered by a number of credit unions called the ‘Elan Max Cash Preferred’. This card is essentially identical to the US Bank Cash+ card, although the sign-up bonus is usually $150 instead of regular offer of $200 on Cash+ card. Basics of the card:
- No annual fee
- You can choose two categories to earn 5% on (limit $2,000 in spending per quarter), one category to earn 2% on one, and 1% on all other purchases
