WAMU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

coachhenson — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 21:38:42 GMT

Got a preapproved offer from them for the "Getmyvisa.com" deal. I was a little hesitant to apply since I wasn't sure if it would be worth getting another $500 credit card right now but I bit the bullet anyway.

I got the instant online approval for $2800!!!!!!!!!!!!! This will be my highest CL as of now and I think it might make some of my others go to bat and start trying to match it!!!

This board has changed my life completely.

Since coming here last July, I have brought my FICO scores from the 460's to 641, 638 and 671 and they are still climbing. I have since bought my house and "new" used Honda Accord.

This site is a blessing to all who use it. Thanks for allowing me to read about situations like mine or even worse that have taught me how to fix my credit life.

Super Congrats Coach!!!!

$2,800 is a very nice way to get started with WAMU.

We're so glad you made the decision to apply what

you've learned here in order to improve your financial standing.

Since you're on a hot streak you might consider asking for a

credit limit increase upon activation. Check the forum for a

WAMU backdoor number and let us know what happens.

Once again, Congratulations on the new card!!!!

Congrats! What a great CL.

What sort of baddies do you have on your report, and how old are they? I'm curious because I receive a ton of pre-apps from WaMu, but I've been holding off on applying.

Did they pull TU for you?

I have a BK that is just over three years old from discharge.

I have one late over two years ago on a First Premier card which was crap anyway.

I have a previously late Ford truck payment or two.

I have a repo (wife's that was in my name--not passing blame, just answering your question).

I don't know what they pulled yet.

I like WaMu! I worked my way from 200 to 12K in over 4 years. Just make sure to pay all your bills on time!

PS. These forums are definitely a blessing.

Daaannnng!

Great job!

I just got WaMu too! They only gave me $2k. Didn't think to ask for cli.

When calling to activate Hooters I did ask them about me measly $500 credit limit---they tripled it!

You might try that when you activate yours!?!

They pull TU and/or EX depending on location, product, phase of the moon, and whatever mood they happen to be in at the time.

And EX for me, also in NY. Basically, they may pull either one, regardless of where you are.
