Navy Federal: WOW, WOW AND WOW!

Hi Guys,


I'm VERY impressed with NFCU. I deal with many banks and other credit unions but I must say Navy has topped them all, both in CL generosity and stellar customer service.


I apped for a line of credit and their platinum credit card.


I was approved for a $15,000 line of credit in addition to a credit card with a $25,000 credit line! Talk about generous!! $40,000 in credit and I don't even have a relationship with them yet. However, my reports are in pristine condition these days and I have virtually ZERO credit card debt along with a high income so I know those factors weighed in.


If you can get into NFCU, do it. You won't be disappointed with them. Highly recommended.

You are definitely right, UM.

 

I just applied for their platinum Visa and when I didn't get an instant approval (I HATE non-instant approvals!), I was starting to regret the waste of an INQ.  An hour after I applied I checked EQ and no INQ so I was wondering what was going on.

 

@Anonymous hours after applying I got an e-mail that a decision had been reached and went online to see it was approved.  I called in for the APR and CL:  $25k @ 8.8%.

 

The CSR suggested I apply for NavCheck, but I do not really need a 15% LOC.

 

I have one more INQ on EQ to burn and one on TU.  Time to look at the shopping list!

All in all, they have been very good to me... I have really only been flat out denied for one thing, my other 2 applications were "Conditionally approved" and when I couldn't meet the conditions it was declined, so more my fault.  So I'm just working my secured card right now and I think when I get my 2 cards with balances down more, they will be a little easier on me, the debt is really the #1 issue.
