So called Navy Fed Customer service today, spoke to a nice rep who was able to get membership department on the line and locate my application based on my email address. They processed and opened the accounts while I waited on hold. Got notification that my TU was pulled while I was waiting - So TU Pull for Membership. Customer Service Rep came back on and went through my info (access #'s online setup etc) funded account from a CSP Visa.
Logged In to online service and after setting up my password etc. Applied for Flagship Visa...another TU Pull notification
App Went Pending
What do I do now?
UPDATE: 3/8/17 -
APPROVED!!! NAVY FLAGSHIP SIGNATURE VISA
SL: $24,000
RATE: 15.99
ORIGINAL POST:
Looking for input from my fellow myFico cohorts. Looking at joining Navy Fed...found the NL of SD method, got my NL membership emails etc...and Navy Fed App filled out. Have searched the forum and it seems it's a dice roll on which bureau they will pull for membership and/or credit card apps? I'd normally wait, but don't want to risk them closing this backdoor to membership...(paranoia) I'm sure but have a funny feeling that I need to do it asap. I'd open Share/Savings + Everyday Checking and app for Flagship Rewards Sig Visa + CLOC (Navcheck?)
Looking for feedback/experiences/thoughts/opinions Thank you in advance!.

Thanks @AJC ...I emailed my member app, with proof of address and copies of front/back of my DL, and email welcome/receipt with NL & SD selected. hoping for an EQ pull for membership...poor thing is battered at this point, one more HP isn't going to make much of a difference. Then maybe a TU Pull with the Flagship & CLOC app(s).
Most likely they will pull EQ for the CU application, and then TU for the Cash rewards card.
At least that is what they did me. I am not sure about tax liens part but the rest looks good, or better then when I got approved.
Tax liens is only thing I could see being problem others will have to weigh in on that one.
Hit up the credit pulls database and you'll find more than enough info/data there to arm yourself with to determine what your actual approval odds are.

Hi everybody! I have a ? for AverageJoesCredit I'm new to posting here at the forums but I found this awesome site in Nov 2016 & have been reading & learning since, wish I would have found it sooner. Once I join NFCU via the NL San Diego council my sons will be able to join through me without them having to go the Navy League route, is this correct? Thank you for taking the time to answer my silly question!
AJC is taking a nap..
You are correct, they can join without the Navy League.

They pulled TU for me for both membership and credit card. Only had 1 other inquiry at the time for my one-month old Cap 1 QS with a limit of $3K and no utility. My score for TU was in the 670s. Also had a BK7 on my report-discharged in 7/2014. No lates or negativess since my BK7. My AAOA was around 9 years. Oldest account 24 years.
Approved for $5K for the CashRewards card. .
Hope this helps.
