NFCU Cash Rewards instant approval just blew my mind.

Instant approval for $20,000 and APR is prime + 6.4%! Smiley Very Happy The letter said rates would be 9.65-18.0%. So it seems I was given the lowest APR offered and an incredible limit as well. Info in my signature covers what I had going on before card wise. Also Chase is showing closed on my credit report currently due to a dispute in progress. I thought this might hurt my app but aparently not. I joined NFCU Last October and opened a car loan with them for just over $20,000 and they offered me a limit which was a few grand higher and immediatly said they could get me more if I wanted when applying over the phone. I told them that it was plenty thank you. Made all my payments on time and my last 2 payments I over paid by a couple hundred each payment.

 

I got the pre-selected offer in the mail yesterday and I've been upset at my low limits on my other cards the past few weeks. I will need to make a purchase in the $3-4K range in the next few weeks and was wondering what I could do to make the payment as it was a mail order item. I have been gardening wanting to let things cool off and let some hard pulls fall off but I needed a card that could handle a higher transaction and I wanted it to be a cash rewards card. 1.5% on everything beat my Chase Freedom at 1% for everything and they haven't auto increased me for nearly a year now with heavy usage and paying in full multiple times a month for the last year and a half. I always ended the cycle with a 5-20% of limit balance. Chase originally bumped me from $1000 to $1500 to $2000 in 3-4 month intervals than nothing.... Well now NFCU will get my CC traffic unless its a 5% reward item from Chase. I have nothing but great things to say about NFCU, always easy and friendly to deal with and they seem to just throw credit at me by the shovel full! haha

Re: NFCU Cash Rewards instant approval just blew my mind.

Just checked my Walmart reported credit score and saw it had jumped a bit so wanted to add that for anyone else applying and comparing thier situation. My Walmart Fico is showing 779 currently and I also added my Credit Karma score of 709 as of today. I'm still shocked at the limit I was given with how low my other cards are!
