Ouch @ James. I would be in the corner with Remedios with a box of Kleenex after the first denial. Maybe not a box, a case sounds more sufficient..
Lol, x. It truly didn't hurt so much -- perhaps because it happened so suddenly or perhaps because of Navy & RBFCU sucesses were mixed in. Maybe the "shock factor" helped -- I was totally caught offguard with the denials. My research suggested I was just the customer they were looking for. Huh? What? No? Say what again?
Now that the dust has settled and the chips have fallen where they've fallen, I can take a mostly analytical approach to assessing the carnage ("Hmm, THAT didn't work so well. Let's not try THAT again.") What's left but to grin and bear it?

That's a good way to approach it, I like the optimism here. Sort of reminds me of what Einstien said when discovering the light bulb. He found a "thousand" ways it didn't work. CU's generally tend to be more conservative, one of the main reasons why back in June 2018, the first card I apped for was Alliant. I figured if I was going to get a CU, it had to be the first app, then do everything else (over a course of 3-6 months, I added around 8 cards). As always, DPs are the name of the game, and thank you for providing that!
The title of this post makes me love it before even reading it lol. That’s a rough spree. Sorry about all those trials and denials. At least you still have Navy though if that’s any comfort.

Yep. Every day I look for DPs & a chuckle. Hopefully others can find both in this same spot.
Really good intel James, wish I was in RBFCU's footprint as they seem to give out pretty good size SLs and that 2% card has no FTF and Chip & PIN priority it looks like.

Yeah I’m jealous of RBFCU. I mean all the denials suck but for large cards I would be happy to just have NFCU and RBFCU cards.
