Are NFCU cc cli’s still only soft pulls?

I searched but the thread I found on it is almost three years old now. At that time it seems they switched to soft pull only.  I see one guy's post a few posts down this page that had a soft pull. Just double checking before I smash the button for a cli request. Has anyone else had any recent experience with an NFCU credit card cli that can vouch if it's only a soft pull or have they gone back to hard pulls since 2020?

Yes, NFCU's CLIs are soft pulls.

Here's the thread you want to read.

From memory if you request a CLI online 100% of reported datapoints are that it will only be a soft pull but if you called in and spoke to a CSR there is a risk of taking a hard pull, but the thread I'm referencing is a much better resource than my memory.

As long as you ask via the app/website, yes, it'll be a SP only.

Awesome. Thanks. I smashed the cli button in the app and got instant approval. 24k to $32k I felt like I left some on the table but I’m happy nonetheless. I’ll smash it again when enough statement cycles have passed.

Nope, $8k is the current cap, so you got everything you could've possibly gotten. Congrats! Smiley Happy
