USAA Approved!

woodyman100 — Fri, 08 Jun 2018 23:19:34 GMT

After I applied for my Marriott Business I decided that I was finally done for awhile.

I placed a freeze on all 3 reports and moved on.

2 days later (today), I receive a pre-selected offer for a Rate Advantage card from USAA.

USAA, CITI and AMEX were my white whales.

I lifted the freeze, Apped and was approved for $10,000😁.

Now I wait for Citi and Amex to come around for main revolvers.

Exp pull 772-74 inqs-AAOA about 4 years

Super Congrats on your new USAA Rate Advantage 10k SL!

BTW, I'm surprised that USAA pulled your Experian.

I was under the impression they routinely pull Equifax.

Did you specifically ask USAA to pull your EX after you

unfroze your CR's? Thanks in advance!

Woody you're on a roll! Congrats on the USAA app. USAA has been one of the easiest to build limits with minus the HPs. lol
Guess I need to make room for another life size poster or statue in the foyer. And add you to my collection of Credit Idols. You've joined the ranks of Finstar, 12njoy and UnkaB! 🤣
Apparently your creditors believe the Wood is good!😂

Woody,

Would you mind sharing your APR? I just got the prequalified "Rate Advantage" starting at the beginning of this month. They want to give me 14.49%. The previous offer for one of their other cards was 18.49%. I'm curious what kind of scores are needed to get higher rates. Those APRs are too high IMO. Thanks!

Congrats Woody!!

With me, I couldnt decide between USAA or NFCU so I went with Penfed instead

They have always pulled Ex for DW and the Credit Pulls Database noted mostly Ex which is why I lifted that freeze

0% for 18 months then 18.49%.

quite frankly this card doesn’t compare to others I have as far as rewards.

I also have several sub 8% options should I need to carry a balance.

This one is just to help with my Hobby.

My business accounts are what I’m more serious about

Nice approval Woody! USAA and Citi are now my challenges. I crossed AMEX off the list a week ago. USAA keeps counter offering me their secured card, which I politely turn down. USAA was one of my biggest burns in my BK, so not too surprised, but still hopeful someday

I know what you mean about the secured card. Almost seems worse than a denial once you reach a certain level.

ill get Citi when I decide to garden for awhile.

Amex, I don’t know what the issue is. They FINALLY added POT to my Platinum last month so maybe there is a bit of progress there

Great job, @woodyman100!

Gotta love USAA... they were the first to give me a 'big boy' credit line when I started my rebuild... I give them credit (pun intended) for helping me to get back on my feet!

Huge congrats!

These days it seems to be a coin-toss which they'll pull... last spring I asked for a CLI on one card and they pulled EQ, then in the fall I asked for a CLI on my other card and they pulled EX. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
