Re: SECU to apply or wait?

@RootDet , yes technically several of us were approved for over $20k.

 

Several members here have asked for $25k or more and were approved. Two I know of obtained $40k from the start in unsecured credit from SECU.

 

Congrats on your membership.

You'll know from the start if your request is approved. If not, lower the amount and try again.

Re: SECU to apply or wait?

Just a heads up. SECU PLOC finally reported today. Was hoping it would be hidden, no big deal though.

Scores still holding steady after it reported.

Re: SECU to apply or wait?

CONGRATS @ktl72455 on your approval.  Does anybody have any datapoints on SECU CLI's?  When is a good time to ask for the first CLI for a new SECU credit card?   A couple months ago in May 2020, I received a 12k SL for their Cash Back CC.  While establishing my relationship and membership with SECU in May 2020, I opened a savings and checking account.  Along with the original HP, I was able to garner a $3k PLOC with them as well.

 

Thanks in advance.

@E_Fizzy 

I believe @Anonymous  has requested a CLI recently? I know he added some extra tradelines with them. Maybe he can help you on that one.

Ok , my CC acount is now showing up on line Smiley Happy

Since it is a soft pull for other items, I have nothing to loose going for something, but what? lol PLOC?

How long will they use the first HP for other items?

@ktl72455 

Your pull is good for 30 days. And you're correct. You have nothing to lose. Go for it!

I think as long as your score and DTI meets their thresholds, you can request it at anytime for a HP, or re-use a HP within 30 days of the first one whether it's online or over the phone

 

Start small and re-apply for CLI online until you get what you want/are denied

 

With CLI, the max I was getting pre-approved for is up to around 1/3 of my income 12.5k/35k -- I think denied when I called in because I already triple dipped 20K in new accounts right before -- "escalating debt". My DTI = ~1%

 

Total revolving exposure 25k to 35k income with them, over 70%

 

Minimum score for approval EQ5 670

I have the PLOC and CCs 

 

Funny, they gave me better rates on my CCs than PLOC -- CCs have no cash advance fee, so they are still cheaper to use as cash draw

 

I think I got 10% on the FirstRate V, around 14.5% on PLOC
