New to the forums but a long-time reader and huge fan. I recently joined NFCU through my fiance who is a member. I was going to use them for an auto loan, but ended up getting a 0% deal through the manufacturer. I am leaning towards the Cash Rewards, but am considering the Flagship. My EQ score is 745 with 8 inquiries, and my TU score is 765 with 2 inquiries, relatively low utilization, no negatives whatsoever, AAoA is about 3 years, decent income. I know it's a YMMV thing, but generally speaking, what type of SL and APR could I expect? (Highest limit currently is my $20k Amex BCE)
Well earlier this week I was approved for a Flagship at $17600 and 11.24%
My TU was 710
No inquires other than joining NFCU
AAoA 10 years
Utlization 33%
No negatives
Previous high credit limit $6100
Income right at $90000
So I think you would kill it. If for some reason you didn't improve your limit or rate after a little use.
Good luck.
I agree, I think OP would hit a home run from Navy. They will more than likely pull TU for credit card applicaitons.
I was approved for $23,700.00 at 14.9% but my TU is lower like 720's with LOTS of inquiries.
Thanks for the feedback guys. I noticed it seems to be a bit of a toss-up between NFCU pulling TU or EQ for a credit card. I would prefer TU just due to the somewhat high number of inquiries on my EQ report
From what I've read they pull from TU for membership and CC's and EQ for the CLOC. They pulled all of mine so quick I couldn't tell the difference, but it seems to be the common wisdom. YMMV

This is usually correct haha. I have had NFCU hit my EQ for a CLI request though. Always a YMMV thing. Although they refused to pull anything but EQ both times I apped for an auto loan.

From me joining recently and getting a CC and a CLOC that was the case for me as well.
