Analysis

Mariners Cash Back is issued by Global Credit Union. The issuer publishes a purchase APR of 7%–10% and an annual fee of $250.

The card in one paragraph

A cash-back card: rewards are paid as a statement credit or a deposit rather than as points to redeem.

The rate, in context and in money

In money rather than percentages: $1,000 left on this card for a year at 10% costs about $100 in interest, around $8 a month. That is simple interest on a flat balance, so read it as a scale rather than a bill — real interest compounds daily and moves with what you owe.

What it costs to hold and use

The annual fee is $250, which it earns back only if what the card gives you is worth more than that every year. No foreign transaction fee, which matters more than it sounds: the usual 3% applies to anything processed abroad, including online orders from foreign merchants placed at home. A late payment costs up to $30.

In short

The published rate of 7%–10% is the figure to weigh, and it only applies if you carry a balance. Clear the statement in full each month and the rate is irrelevant to what the card costs you.

Where these facts come from

The card name, the image and the application link on this page were read from Global Credit Union's own website (product page). The rates and fees, where we show them, come from a different source entirely: the cardholder agreement the issuer filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Those two sources can disagree, and when they do the issuer's current offer is the one you would actually get. A filed agreement is a snapshot of the terms at the moment of filing; it is the best public record of what a card costs and it is not a quote. Read Global Credit Union's current disclosure before you apply.

We join a filing to a product only when the names match on every meaningful word. Issuers file documents, not cards, so a great many filings cannot be tied to any one product — and an agreement attached to the wrong card would misstate the price of borrowing money. Those unmatched documents no longer get pages of their own on this site: a page named after a PDF is not something a reader can use. They remain published as documents, linked from this page and from the issuer's. How we read the filings.
