NFCU AR

Anonymous — Sat, 22 Jul 2017 15:52:44 GMT

Does Navy use their AR for cli requests, or do they do a sp/hp? Or, like most everything else with them, is it a matter of 'could be any or all'?

An AR is a SP so that's what they use. They don't do another one when you request a CLI

Thanks. I didn't know if they just used the latest AR, or did another pull when you push the button.

When my 3rd statement cuts on Aug 17th..at 91 days, will NFCU have done a AR by then or is it best to call EQ TO SEE IF A SP was done

They do them every two months, from what I'm told. They did one early July, so the next should be early September.

And that's where my confusion came from, will they use the early July AR pull for your cli request in August, or will they do another pull? I'm still not certain.

My FICO sore from them says it was updated on July 12th. I'm assuming that the updated score is from the AR, because the previous score was from May. What's the update date on yours?

I happened to chat with Navy a few days ago and asked if a request for a CLI is a soft or hard pull. The rep said all CLI requests are hard pulls. I don't know if this applies to a pre-approved offer or invite but she said if I hit the CLI button on my Go Rewards it would result in a hard pull. She put emphasis on all CLI requests are hard pulls. With that in mind I did not click on the CLI. Just my two cents.

Many have reported having similar conversations with a NFCU CSR on the phone, and it makes sense as it expedites the conversation.

If they tell everyone to expect a HP nobody can complain later if/when it does happen, and if it so happens that there is no HP they aren't likely to get a complaint about that, either. Trying to explain the nuances of the every-other month AR - not to mention that even then there can be a HP - would take too much time and would open them up to having to deal with misunderstandings and complaints.

Telling everybody to expect a HP keeps things simple.

So, I think we've established that nobody really knows, or at least it can/will/may/has/hasn't/sometimes/maybe be different for everyone, and there is no absolute answer.

Exactly.

To sum it up, here's what we do know (for now):

NFCU does a soft-pull account review (AR) every other month

CLI requests after an AR (or shortly thereafter) sometimes have no HP

Anytime you request a CLI with NFCU, expect a HP and be pleased if there's not one

I still suggest for anybody who might be looking for a CLI to wait until an AR for the best chance of avoiding a HP (if that is a concern), but it will always be a coin-toss.

I have read where if the CLI is INSTANT---SP---If goes to review ie; 24 hrs, 3-5 days etc..HP.....My FICO score AR was listed as updated on 7/12..NEXT AR will be 9/12--my 91 days/3rd staement will be 8/17-----I will expect HP for my 91 day CLI

I’m aware I’m a little late in this thread, but hopefully I’ll get a response. Is there a certain timeframe or window I should say as to how long after the AR you have to request a CLI with the possible SP? As in one day, five days, a week? I also have noticed on my EQ credit report that the last two AR’s for me took place on 24 Oct and 26 Dec 2017. So is it possible that my next one should be around 24 Feb 2018?

Please review :

http://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Card-Applications/Navy-Federal-Thread-for-CLI-and-Additional-Cards/td-p/3419729

NFCU AR's occur on odd months; January, March, May, July, September and November. Best chance for a SP is on those months. In the above thread many people gleefully post in each of those months the specific day that they saw the SP account review hit their credit report. I'd say wait for them to post that and give it a try. Usually it is within the first week of the odd months.

My last AR was 4 January 2018.

I don’t get it as to why mine take place on even months. Like I said on my original post, my last two took place in October and December.

Rdrarmy,

Stretching on this one, but maybe it has something to do with where you live. I just check my last AR and it was done 12/26/17. I reside in California and its where I opened my accounts. Which state do you live in?

@risingup2day,
I live in TN and this is where I opened up my account.

Call me crazy, but they probably do every other month and what month depends on when they originally did a hp when you had your first product with them. So odd or even months is pure luck as to what month your relationship started...
