Staying connected while traveling abroad is a priority for many travelers these days. Simply relying on Wi-Fi at your hotel or at coffee shops can be a hassle at best.

That is why we’re always traveling with and testing out eSIMs. That way, we can have data service from when we land until we head home. While eSIMs can be quite affordable, getting data for free is even better.

Now, some Navy Federal Credit Union cardholders can get a complimentary 3GB data plan with GigSky.

Depending on which card you have will impact your eligibility, so let’s look at the details.

Free 3GB GigSky eSIM

Navy Federal Credit Union just announced that members with the Navy Federal Visa Signature^® Flagship Rewards Card can claim a free 3GB GigSky eSIM data plan each year they hold the card. This is a 2GB increase from the previously available benefit.

GigSky normally offers a complimentary 1GB / 15-day data plan per year to all Visa Signature cardholders in the U.S., plus 20% off all plans. This increase to a 3GB / 15-day data plan, plus 30% off all plans, brings it up to the same level as Visa Infinite cardholders.

This is a nice little boost in benefits for no extra cost, which is not something we see every day.

Speaking of Visa Infinite cards, GigSky also offers a special package for anyone with the U.S. Bank Altitude^® Connect Visa Signature^® Card. Cardholders can get a 5GB / 15-day complimentary plan plus 20% off all plans. That is a solid benefit for a card with a $0 annual fee.

Hot Tip:

If you have a Visa Infinite or Visa Signature card, like the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card, in your wallet, you can get a free eSIM every year.

What Is GigSky?

GigSky is an eSIM company that specializes in data-only packages, meaning you can keep your phone number (good for messaging apps) while getting data in whichever country you are visiting.

With coverage in more than 190 countries, multiple ways to snag free data, and plans starting at just $4.99, GigSky is an app that all travelers should have on their phone.

Plus, for the cruise fans, there are Cruise+Land packages available that can save you from the astronomical Wi-Fi prices on the high seas.

Final Thoughts

Navy Federal Credit Union members with the Navy Federal Flagship card will now receive a 3GB / 15-day data plan, which is 2GB more than other Visa Signature cards.

Cardholders can redeem this benefit once per year, so be sure to take advantage of this increased benefit if you’re eligible.
