Re: Bank of Omaha Discover Pre-approval

I received this some time back, and more recently the Amex from FNBO.  Went to the shredder though. I have the BucksBack Visa with them, and thus far, no complaints.  All applications via manual review, therefore online applications don't get auto approved. Took about 2 weeks after i got the approval email from them.  They are very conservative lender.  I've had the card since 7/2011, started at 15k, and that's where it sits today. I've nothing negative  to speak of  at this point, but i really don't use it very much.  I believe the reviews are mixed, and benefits are really not the best compared to some of the bigger lenders.   Maybe someone else can chime in with more info.

Re: Bank of Omaha Discover Pre-approval

I got a preapproval from them yesterday for the amex. I put in the codes online and the status is pending so we will see. I've read they are conservative and all my cards are fairly new so they may not like that.

Re: Bank of Omaha Discover Pre-approval

I keep reading this as "Bank of Obama", lol.

 

Anyways, does this card have the same rotating categories as the More/IT for the 5% cash back?  The no annual fee and 0% until April or May sounds pretty good.  If you don't want to wait for an offer for the More card, I'd say go for this one if you really want it.

You've been spotting too many political updates online Smiley LOL

Or, you may want to consider getting a bigger screen and\or an eye exam Smiley Wink

 

I agree with Sakhalin about waiting and getting the card and perks you really want.  And FNBO is VERY conservative at times (which is usually LOL).  Make sure you have your "ducks" in a row before applying with them (just my 2 cents).  Smiley Happy   

 

Too be completely honest Nicholas, the baddies you listed in your siggy,  really lower your chances for FNBO and Discover.  Neither of those lenders are too forgiving when it comes to those Smiley Sad  I'd hate for you to take an INQ for nothing.  Maybe check the offers page on Discover to see if you're there and if not, it may at least put you on their radar.

Re: Bank of Omaha Discover Pre-approval

Don't be too pessimistic, I actually got my Discover More back in late April with scores around yours.  At the time my TU was 659 and my EQ would have been around the 650 range.

 

At the time I had just been on an app spree (opened 5 accounts in about a month), so I'm not sure exactly what had reported by the time Discover got hold of me, but prior to the spree I had an AAoA of about 5 years, 3 opened CCs that were 2.5-4 years old all with limits under $1000, at least 4 negs (COs and collections) and one open loan. Aside from the COs/collections - all of my other accounts were in perfect standing and my util was probably around 33%.  

 

I got approved for the Discover More with a starting limit of $1000, did a BT right away hoping they'd up the limit (but they didn't) and I just saw yesterday that I got a CLI from them without requesting it.  It was only $300, but that's still a 30% increase Smiley Wink

 

I've also gotten two FNBO letters since all that, the most recent was the Discover offer (not sure what the first was) they were about 3 months apart.  I didn't act on the first, and have the second somewhere around here in case I find myself wanting to take advantage of the 0% interest around Christmas time.

Start 2/2008: TU 495 || EX 539 || EQ 528
Now 5/2013: TU 716 || EX ??? || EQ 702

Slate: $5000 Simplicity: $5000 David's Bridal: $3500 SW Chase: $3000 FNBO: $3000 Barclay NFL: $2500 BofA: $2400 Discover IT: $1700 Walmart: $1500 Victoria's Secret: $1000 Cap1: $750 Amex Zync: NPSL

Re: Bank of Omaha Discover Pre-approval

Revisio: thanks for your advice I know my change to get approved about 50% since the baddie only 4 years......but I had one of my relative getting approved with similar credit file but only 640 Fico score.........I might bite it one day but I'm just sit tight and wait for my score bump up some more and apps for something in the next 1 or 2 years........then garden forever lol....

 

to modernsureon this is of the thing I hate to apps for something and get limit toy limit.........I rather would wait but grow limit a lil bit every 6  Month or so.........I had three toys limit already and I hate that...........I'm on the process with dispute, remove and clean up my credit report so everything I do I'm try to make sure it's 100% good move for my credit file in the future..............
