Navy Federal launches the Flagship Premier Visa Signature: 4x travel, 3x dining, $95 fee
Navy Federal Credit Union's new Flagship Premier Visa Signature earns 4x points on travel and 3x on dining, carries a $95 annual fee and a $100 annual airline credit, and opens with 50,000 bonus points after $4,000 spend in 90 days. Existing Flagship Rewards cardholders were told a $95 fee applies from 2 November 2026.

Navy Federal Credit Union has a new top rewards card. The Flagship Premier Visa Signature went live on 3 November 2026, per Doctor of Credit, and its terms are on Navy Federal's own product page. It is a $95 travel card built around two bonus categories and an airline credit.
The card, from Navy Federal's page
| Flagship Premier Visa Signature | |
|---|---|
| Annual fee | $95 |
| Travel | 4x points |
| Dining | 3x points |
| Everything else | 1x points |
| Welcome bonus | 50,000 points (Navy Federal values them at $500) after $4,000 spend in 90 days; offer expires 3 Jan 2027 |
| Airline credit | $100 a year, as a statement credit after $100 or more of eligible airline purchases |
| Global Entry or TSA PreCheck | Statement credits up to $120 |
| Foreign transaction fees | None |
Doctor of Credit added an update saying the bonus appears to be 90,000 points for some applicants. Navy Federal's public page still shows 50,000 when we checked, so treat a higher offer as targeted until you see it on your own application.
What it means for existing Flagship Rewards cardholders
This is the fee-bearing part of the story. In September, Navy Federal emailed existing Flagship Rewards cardholders revised terms "as of November 2, 2026" adding a $95 annual fee, according to Doctor of Credit, which published the notice. Cardholders could reject the change by calling before 11:59pm Eastern on 1 November 2026, which closes the account to new purchases. That window has now passed.
Doctor of Credit's launch post says the previous card carried a $49 annual fee and an Amazon Prime credit, and that the refresh makes it hard to justify past the first year for most people. Navy Federal's page does not describe the old card, and neither source says whether existing accounts are converted to the Premier's benefits, so check the terms sent with your own card before you decide whether to keep it.
Should you get it?
The math is simple. The $100 airline credit offsets the $95 fee only if you would buy at least $100 of airline purchases anyway. After that, the card has to beat a no-fee card on your travel and dining spend: at 4x and 3x, it pays roughly 4% and 3% back if Navy Federal's $500-for-50,000 valuation (one cent a point) holds for the redemption you use.
The 50,000-point bonus is the clearest reason to apply. For ongoing value, compare it with travel cards that have airline and hotel transfer partners, where a point can be worth more than one cent.
