@CreditCuriosity, income is $45k yr.
I would probably hold off to be honest if I were you. The usually dont like alot of credit being excess of > 200kish and usually they don't like your credit > income in your case you have about 3 times amount of credit than income so another strike against you on a very very conservative CU. Their UW can always change, but havent seen any recent dp's of it and at least one or two declines recently with pre-approvals.
Thank you. I guess I will hold off for now.
Wow, they are surprisingly persistent. I filled out the application the other night before I posted in here and then just hit save application, and now earlier this afternoon, they sent me an email from a consumer lending sales rep.

Yes sales rep != UW though when they see application. Just a HP; but I think it would yield a denial, but if you want to be a GP for the forum we always welcome data points.
I'll think it over for the weekend. Not going to jump on it too fast.

Well, I did jump on it in an attempt to get the card. They asked for POI, with no link to upload, and they never sent a link even in my email. Did that early early on Monday morning. By that evening, it turned to a flat rejection. My guess is they reviewed it and most likely rejected for too much available credit. We will find out soon enough. I still have to update my spade, but I'm another data point in First Tech.

Glad I searched for this. I got a "pre-approved" mailer for a $200 SUB on Choice, but had some problems years ago when trying to join and get the same card. I passed the credit check but had some headaches with identity/income documentation.
By now they might say I have too much available credit. Or maybe I will eventually apply again and replace my Arrival.
