Not totaly sure, but pretty sure, NFCU Soft Pulls every account around the 5th. They do not post the new numbers, FICO 9's, until around the ninth, (give or take a day or two). Their internal numbers are still unknown. Every credit card will soft pull when they see a large change, like a large purchase, I had soft pulls when I paid off cards.I personally check my credit scores online at least once a week, usually more, and check every card balance I used online almost daily, others less frequently. I have nine Vantage 3.0 freebie sites and five FICO 8 + NFCU FICO 9 sites that I check. Most will email me of any changes, so I have back-ups.I didn't keep track of my credit progress, just recently found this forum that actually helps people. But I came from a virtual pergatory of credit dispair. But started to build with the help of this site.
The Soft Pulls are really around the third week of previous month, at least for me and DW. Have verified this with paper reports and score matching.

Thank you, I really do not know, I read many post and went with that. Plus what happens to me.
This may help me, I screwed up and applied for a CLI way too early. But my next account cuts on Oct 5th, I opened and applied for a CLI on July 7th. Hoping that will be enough time. Well, Oct 7th+.
I'm also in the throws of a refinance deal, so this is secondary for now.
Good morning.
I opened my NFCU account in April 2019. Shortly after, I opened a secured card with them and always PIF. This passed Sunday, I was approved for an unsecured Cash Rewards with a 5,000 SL (I have a discharged ch.7 BK reporting, so my SL’s likely won’t be high to begin with). My question is, do I need to wait another 91 days to apply for any additional credit with NFCU?
What should be the next course of action? CLI or a third card (Amex or Platinum), or a CLOC? From what I understand, the secured card may or may not graduate, so I am just not sure what my next NFCU goal should be
I assumed I should let the current lines grow and not apply for anything additional until at least December, but wasn’t sure as I see some people applying for say a CLI and a new card in the same day and getting approval.
Thanks in advance for any responses

Back on topic though, my Secured nRewards statement cuts the 27th. My SP was on the 27th. Then my score updated on the 6th. I pulled my scores the 1st. The FICO 9 score on the app reflected my scores from the 27th, not the higher score from the 1st.
Navy does the AR on every 4th Tuesday of the month. August 27th was the 4th Tuesday of the month - your statement closing date on the same day happened to be a coincidence. The other poster was also right about July's AR because July 23rd was the 4th Tuesday of the month.
The time it takes for Navy to update the score on everyone's account after the AR varies - some months they update it in around 10 days and some months it takes over 2 weeks. But as far as I can tell, the updated scores are reflected online the same day for everyone once Navy decides to do it.

I have learned so much from here, I want to also share what I learned on my own, plus share my progress, (although slow), but if I say so myself, I am not doing too bad after a bad time about 6 years ago, (co-sign), ate me alive.
Hi @Anonymous, you might have tried too early... you have to be at the rank of 'Member' to put images in your signature (which you now are) but if you tried when you were still a 'New Member' it wouldn't have worked.

That's right. It is on that Tuesday.

Yes and sometimes a holiday makes them pull sooner as in XMas. Last year they pulled earlier in Nov-Dec and there was a flurry of offers and approvals in time for the holiday spend season.
All of the FICO's you get out there, Discover, DCU, PSECU, Elements, NASA etc. are all delayed like that. They do what they do with those before sharing them with us.

Does Navy usually or often have a start-up bonus for the AMEX card? If I wait will I be likely to see an equally tempting offer in December or November?
My three statements and 91 days comes up later this month, so I could apply. My credit profile hasn't dramatically changed since I was approved for a cash Rewards card in June, though I do have a modest balance reporting on my Disco card which I didn't when was approved for my first Navy card. My util is going down each month (as it does) and my debt to income ratio is the same (about 19%). My TU score has gone up only a point (it went down after the Navy card in June and has since gone back up). Always paid my cash Rewards card on time and in full.
This would be my second card with Navy. I'll pull the trigger and take a shot later this month if I have a decent chance at being accepted... Any suggestions would be welcome!
Go for it.
You look to be in a better spot than I was at card 2 and I got a plat at $15k but ymmv.
Navy is good for second cards as I have found out. All you have to really lose is a hard pull :/
Thank you for your advice! I'm gonna do it!!!
The big difference in my profile now (as compared to when I was approved for the cash Rewards in June) is the somewhat modest balance on the Disco card. Everything else is the same or a little better. I'd prefer to wait, but I don't want to miss that bonus!
