There are lots of ways to support the men and women that work tirelessly to protect our freedom. One easy way can be found in one of 7 credit card offers that support the military. Whether you are in the service, a veteran, or a family member, these credit cards are a great way to wave the stars and stripes.
USMA Credit Card Offers: If you are a cadet, alumnus, or staff of the United States Military Academy (better known as West Point), you and your relatives are eligible for membership in Pentagon Federal Credit Union. As a member, you are eligible for the USMA credit card that supports the U.S. Military Academy. The USMA card is offered as both a Visa Gold and Visa Classic, both of which have no annual fee.
Discover More–American Flag Edition: This is one of my favorite credit cards. The American Flag Discover More offers up to 5% cash back and comes with a 0% balance transfer offer. For purchases made at certain online retail partners of Discover, the cash back feature goes as high as 20%. There is no annual fee, and the Discover website is by far the easiest to use of any credit card company I’ve seen. And with the American Flag edition, you can show off your patriotism every time you use the card. If you’d like more information about the Discover More Card–American Flag edition or to apply online, visit www.discover.com.
Stars and Stripes® WorldPoints®: The Strs and Stripes card is designed for supporters and members of the U.S. military. Issued by Bank of America, the card features a 0% introductory offer on balance transfers and WorldPoints rewards. Cardholders earn 1 point for every $1 in net retail purchases. Points can be redeemed beginning at 2,500 and are redeemable for cash, travel with no blackout dates, hotel rewards, car rentals, brand-named merchandise, gift certificates and more. There is no annual fee for the card.
American Legion Auxiliary: With almost a million members, the American Legion Auxiliary administers volunteer programs, volunteers to help its communities and veterans, and raises millions of dollars to support its own programs as well as other worthwhile charities familiar to most Americans. Here’s how the Auxiliary describes its history and purpose:
The Auxiliary, organized in 1919 to assist The American Legion, is much more than the name implies. The organization has achieved its own unique identity while working side-by-side with the veterans who belong to The American Legion. Like the Legion, the Auxiliary’s interests have broadened to encompass the entire community.
The American Legion Auxiliary is the world’s largest women’s patriotic service organization. Through its nearly 10,500 units located in every state and some foreign countries, the Auxiliary embodies the spirit of America that has prevailed through war and peace. Along with The American Legion, it solidly stands behind America and her ideals.
For those looking to support the Auxiliary, Bank of America offers the American Legion Auxiliary credit card. The card has no annual fee and comes with a 0% introductory rate on balance transfers. Cardholders also earn WorldPoints redeemable for cash, travel rewards, gift certificates and more.
Ladies Auxiliary to the VFW: The Ladies Auxiliary serves an important role–to ensure that our veterans are not forgotten and that they are card for. The Ladies Auxiliary was founded in 1914, and since the war on terror began, care packages have been sent to troops in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Qatar and other locations around the world. With nearly 600,000 members in the United States, Guam and Panama, the Ladies Auxiliary VFW actively supports our troops as well as veterans and their families.
The Ladies Auxiliary credit card allows cardholders to earn WorldPoint rewards and offers a 0% balance transfer feature. The card carries no annual fee and a reasonable interest rate on purchases.
Marine Corps Association: The Marine Corp Association (MCA) was formed at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba on April 25, 1913, by Marines of the 2d Provisional Brigade. The purpose of the MCA is to publish the history of the Marine Corps and disseminate “…information concerning the aims, purposes and deeds of the Corps, and the interchange of ideas for the betterment and improvement of its officers and men…”
You can show your support of the MCA with the Bank of America Marine Corp Association credit card. The card comes with standard Bank of American credit card terms, including a 0% introductory rate on balance transfers and the ability to earn WorldPoints redeemable for cash, travel rewards, and more. The card charges no annual fee.

I am a veteran 30% service connected disabled and have a credit score of 567 with one old student loan against me . I want to get a credit card or loan for start up expenses and to repair my credit by paying on the student loan. Do i qualify and if so how can you help me?
trinidad, thanks for your comment. With a credit score of 567, it will be difficult to qualify for a credit card other than a secured or prepaid card. While these cards serve a purpose for some, I’m not sure that they will help you much, and secured cards are typically expensive. You mention start up costs. Are you starting a business? Since you are a veteran, one question is to what extent can you obtain capital as a veteran. There may be many opportunities from that angle.
