Update ---> First Bank Virginia (UMB) - Proud New Member! (Approved then Closed)

**UPDATE 5/17/21 - 8 days after the account was open they closed it stating I no longer meet the minimum requirements due to excessive inquiries. Two additional inquiries were added after I submitted this application. UMB spent about 2 weeks reviewing the applications. To add insult to injury the day they closed my account credit karma sent an email stating"A hard inquiry was blocked on 05/07/21 because your TransUnion report is frozen". Thank goodness I keep all my reports frozen!

 

There was no sign-up bonus, the points are difficult to redeem compared to other mainstream cards, and the card services website looks dated, but I didn't learn this until after I got the card. The main benefit was the 2.64% back from shopping at Costco or Walmart, but I have other cards that earn comparable or better rates.
