Union Plus Credit Card Makes the Grade

by James Parks, Apr 26, 2007

Union members already know the value of the Union Plus credit card. Now Gerri Detweiler, a highly respected consumer educator and advocate, is praising the card on Credit Bloggers.

Detweiler calls the Union Plus program a “good guy” example that “should be the standard, not the exception” for affinity credit. Detweiler points out that Union Privilege, which provides benefits to members of participating unions across the country, has worked long and hard to negotiate and maintain a card with strong protections for cardholders.

Read Detweiler’s take on the Union Plus Card here: http://www.creditbloggers.com/2007/04/a_cobranded_cre.html

Where to get the card: http://www.unionplus.org/

6. HEY DUERS -- MOVE YOUR DEBT! FIND A CREDIT UNION!
REALLY REALLY important way to defund the GOP evildoers, move your debt to Unions! Most people can qualify for SOME kind of credit union, not only do you keep your money blue but you will almost FOR SURE get a WAY better deal for yourself.

People don't realize, you can refi your car loan, just about anything. BushCo-supporting banks & mortgage companies make gazillions off of debt, and funnel it right to the GOP, believe it!

3. couldn't determine from reading, but ....
is this card for union members only? I'd dump my card in a heartbeat, but I'm not a union member.

10. Working Families may open the door to non union members to use the card soon!

I hope to have more to say about this in just the next few weeks.
