Navy League Member Drive contest - I win??

I got the email from the Navy League saying they were having a member drive contest, and that the member that got the most people to sign up would win an iPad or something.  I would never push the point, but just for grins I suppose I win???  Lol  

 

Its wonderful to see everyone enjoying their NFCU memberships.  I had no idea that this would turn into what it did.  I have gotten PMs that my thread is showing up in other forums all over the place.  This has probably touched thousands at this point.

 

Happy Holidays everyone.

I joined NLSD last week but ultimately joined NFCU thru my active duty son. Just received my welcome email from NLSD today after I deposited our loan check. But that's ok, it's a good organization to support regardless

Did your welcome email have San Diego in there? I got my welcome email a few days after I signed up, but there was no mention of San Diego on there. It was just a generic welcome email.

I double checked to make sure. It does say 'Your council is San Diego'. The email was headed 'Welcome to the Navy League '.

Thanks for taking the time to do that. I lost count of how many times I've read the email. Lol I just read it again. No mention of SD anywhere. Got some good news though. I just called NFCU for a status update and while I was on hold, I got a notification for a credit inquiry. A few minutes later, the rep came back and told me she pushed my application through. Too bad I wasn't able to get into NFCU while I was still on active duty in the military. Glad I was finally able to join though NLUS-SD.

Re: Navy League Member Drive contest - I win??

I would definitely like to extend a huge thank you to you, Mr/Mrs YoureWelcome. I'm a Marine Corps veteran and used to have a Navy Federal account my entire time in the Marines. I had savings, checking, and a motorcycle loan through them. Once I got out of the Marines, I fell on hard times working through school. I mean living out of a backpack in San Diego hard times, which granted isn't as bad as say Buffalo in the winter, but I was flat broke and busted and they eventually found me and repo'd the motorcycle.

 

Many years later, I was a software developer making decent money and wanted to re-establish my standing with NFCU. I paid off the motorcycle loan but didn't do anything else with my accounts since I was already established with other banks and with only one nearby nfcu branch, banking with them didn't make much sense. Internet banking was still very cludgy. I also believed the hype about "once a member, always a member" so I figured if I ever needed an auto loan or something, I'd reach out to them then. Welp, that day came a few years ago and I called them up and was told, "there hasn't been any activity on your account for years and all your accounts were charged off almost 15 years ago." I was told since I was no longer active duty or reserves, I'd need a sponsor like any other person without direct elligibility. I asked if there was nothing that could be done and the CSR, apologetic as they were, said no and that was that.

 

I recently found out they opened up membership to "household members", and I was seriously looking for a room-mate who was elligible. While researching that avenue, stumbled onto your threads. I app'd on Thanksgiving night and just got the the email asking for ID and such. I have mixed feelings about using such a "back door" to be elligible for membership, but the way I see it, I should still be a member anyway. I never withdrew my last $5 share so I don't know what happened to my account. And the thing that really ticks me off is I eventually paid off the MC loan in full. Years late, but I still paid every **bleep** cent, late fees and all. I guess there was some fine print in the MC loan agreement that allowed them to liquidate my shares in case of default or something. I think it's terrible that NFCU doesn't tell veterans about this avenue of elligibility but I guess they have their reasons. But thankfully, good people like you are spreading the word. Thank you!

Thank you, You're Welcome!!!   Haha

 

Truly I appreciate the step by step instructions, and I am a Happy NFCU member thanks to you!     Ironically my dad was a navy officer, but let his membership lapse, so I was happy to find a way in.

 

Now for my husband searching checklist, I can check that one off the list of requirements Smiley Happy
