As reported on Doctor of Credit:
Current best public offer: 50k points after $4000 spend in 90 days, first year annual fee waived -
https://www.navyfederal.org/loans-cards/credit-cards/offers/flagship-visa-signature.php
Some existing customers are being targeted for 60k offers, either when they log into the NFCU site or via email with the subject "Earn 60K Bonus Points With Flagship".
Points worth 1 cent each. At worst, this is a 2% back card, with bonus categories:
Now earn 3X the points on all travel purchases, including:
1-15-22 link says current offer is only 30K pts for 3K spend in 90 days. 1.99% interest for 6 mo for BT.
You must be able to qualify for membership in the Credit Union. Most people qualify as military service members or veterans, DoD civilians, or via family members.

Yup, it was a great deal with the 60K bonus. If bonus is only 30K now I would wait on the card for a better offer. No guarantee the 60K will come back anytime soon, but still, hard to get excited over $300.

Link above was the same I received when I went to sign in.
I have a $15K CL with them on 1.5% CB Visa. Think I should try this, also? I can't seem to get Sapphire to like me (maybe because I have too many Chase CCs already)....

Thank you gentlemen.
As far as trying the card, I don't know. The best public offer has been 30k in the past, and this is up to 40k. I assume that any targeted links will be increased from that, so we can probably see a 60k before the offer expires (if you're lucky of course).
The Go Rewards had an increased bonus last month (it was small, maybe 150?) and they sent me an email about it, but I haven't gotten an email from NCFU about the Flagship yet. So I'm going to hold out until I get some kind of notice.

Just rechecked the Navy Federal website and they changed the duration of this offer. The offer now expires October 31 instead of November 30 as I originally reported. I still have not received a targeted offer unfortunately, but I think it'll happen after the 15th.

Chase Sapphire vs. VISA Signature Flagship
I was going to get a Chase Sapphire Preferred as soon as I hit $25,000 in spending on my United MileagePlus card (to get 10,000 bonus miles) But, in the mail yesterday, I got an offer for the Navy Federal VISA Signature Preferred card. It offers 2X points on all spending and a $49 annual fee, as well as various VISA benefits.
IIRC, the "points" I'd earn on the Chase Sapphire card can be converted directly into miles, and I think maybe the VISA card the points can only be redeemed for travel. I just wanted to see what others thought or had found out.

You really just have to read up on both and see what suits you best. The respective sites have the information you need to asses this and it's clear that you need to spend some more time on both sites. I'm pulling my NFCU info from their site since I'm not eligible and don't have any NFCU products.
If you're already accruing MileagePlus miles the 1:1 transfer from UR to MileagePlus is probably beneficial. NFCU points are worth 1 cent each when redeemed for airlines tickets and less when redeemed for cash. UR points redeemed as cash back are worth 1 cent each but the better value is typically via transfer to travel partners. The rewards earn rates differ on the two cards but that's also covered on the respective sites.

It appears targeted, it says for card ending in xxxx. I signed up last October, I was just about to cancel as my annual fee was coming up. I signed up when they had the $600 signup bonus, which is great by the way. If they have that bonus I would definitely do it again, redeeming was extremely easy.
