Not sure of your income but 122k TCL they will entertain depending on your scores/income.  You might have a shot depending as your file looks good otherwise being cards/limits.  First thing I looked at was your total available credit Smiley Happy. Been several years since applkied but believe it was an experian HP if not mistaken as well


@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.

Hi macinjosh,

 

Thank you for your inquiry regarding our Choice Rewards World MasterCard, I hope you and your loved ones are taking care and staying safe. If you do have any questions in regards to the application, I would be happy to assist. You can reach me directly via email or phone, and if you have any other financial needs I am happy to review options that may benefit you.

 

Have a great day!

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.

Re: First Tech FCU pre-approved for a Choice Rewards World Mastercard®

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.

Re: First Tech FCU pre-approved for a Choice Rewards World Mastercard®

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.
