I was trolling around the FAQs on NFCU's site and noticed they once per year (12 months from either your last rate decrease or every 12 months since you've opened the account) you're able to request an APR decrease on your CCs. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up in case you didn't know about it. I just sent them a request via secure message myself and got a small % decrease. Every little bit helps.
I actually heard of this before, but just never really followed through with it. But I went ahead and sent a message after seeing your thread. Thanks!

Very nice !! What was your old rate and how much did they lower it ?
Good to know. Thank you for the info.

My APR was pretty high to begin with....(16.65%) and they lowered it .5 to 16.15%. I'm hoping I'll be in the 700s territory when the next request goes through and it'll maybe be a chunk lower.
EDIT: This is for the CashRewards card btw. I'm not actually sure what my current FICO is (the scores below are pretty out of date) but I'd guess in the 660-675 range.
Wow, thanks for the info! Sent them a secure message at 0900, they responded at 0907 :-)
If you don't mind me asking, what is your FICO score and also what was your previous APR?

Thats great to know!
Previous APR was 12.9%.
FICO score didn't play a factor, it was not a hard or soft pull, just an NFCU account review.
