Re: your selling yourself short with worry

Yeah I would say go for it ~ I don't know if their approval criteria is any different for the flagship card, but I think your odds are good.

Re: your selling yourself short with worry

When I apped NFCU I purposely went for the Sig Rewards Visa because it says " Minimum CL 5k". I wanted to make sure I got no less than 5K and I got more. Way more. AF and rates have never bothered me much. You can always "Barry White" your way into getting it waived. 

 

Like Arnorld would say, Do it! Do it Now! LOL

What now?

Well I just pulled the trigger on the NFCU Flagship Rewards Signature card, it got sent to further review. Smiley Mad Don't know how that gonna go. I told them to leave my NFCU Secured CC open, want to make sure I collect my last 100 points for the $50 NFCU gift card. Smiley Happy Any ideas on what should I do next? Has anyone recently gotten this decision? How did you go about? Do I call back? When? Recon? etc etc. Sorry. Just don't want that HP to go to waste.

I app'd the day I got my online access. Received the 3-5 day message and checked my account the next day and was approved so I wouldn't worry too much.

Learning from my past and rebuilding..

Well guess we'll see what happens. I app'ed over the phone. All she said I'd get emailed, txt'ed or called back within 24-48hrs. I was like ok whatevers. Think I keep on getting this kind of results since I have my Active Duty Alert status on. Happened with Barclays, but it just said call this number for further review and a couple questions later. Bam! Approved. Not liking this start to 2013. Lol
