That emoji is pretty much perfect. I’m a Libra so I deal with that exact scenario every single day of my life. Most of the time multiple times an hour. 🤣

Good luck! I am sure you will be in for a big surprise tomorrow since it is your 2nd card with Navy. Like to the tune of $15k-$25k! Smiley Very Happy 


Well if they give me 15-25K, we will have confirmation that they’re drinking for the holidays as I only have 18k income lol. But 5k would be perfect for my BT purposes and would only put me at 33% utilization temporarily. 

 

Then when the BT is paid off, I would eventually just get them to combine the Plat with my cashRewards since I have no need for the card on an ongoing basis and it will likely be higher interest than my CR’s 11.65% anyway. 

 

But Navy is unpredictable, I could be looking at my first denial in 2 years too. Lol. Time will tell. 


Well, you will find out tomorrow. Hopefully, it will be early xmas present from Navy! Smiley Happy

Just crazy, congrats on the awesome SL! I honestly dont even know if i would even apply for another card with that CL, thats just amazing. LOL!!Smiley LOL


Thank you! Never in my wildest dream I imagine getting $25k approval during my credit rebuilding. Smiley LOL

 

Haha I applied for the 75k SUB Amex Delta Gold offer I got in my email 15 minutes after my $25k Platinum approval and got shot down. Score too low and not long enough history with Amex. I guess 6 months of history with Amex is not the same as 6 months of history with Navy Fed. Smiley LOL


Navy has been hit or miss lately. Your profile is pretty close to mine. Also opened my NFCU account in may with a cash rewards $500 limit. I last tried in October, no CLI or 2nd card. DTI was 13%, UTI around 55%. I was approved for the Delta Gold with a 641 though. I'm not even able to app for a Gold. They took it away.

They gave me the the $4500 CLI I requested bringing my CR from $3K to $7500 for my 91/3 this past Monday. I think it could go either way since I opted for the CLI instead of a new card then but I can probably get them to claw back some of the CLI to open the Platinum at worst and just ask for another CLI in June. 

 

I have no doubt Navy will work with me either way Smiley Very Happy

 

It definitely won’t be that amazing SL you just got though haha!

Yeah, our profiles are pretty similar. I got denied by NFCU for my CLI 3 months ago then approved the same day for $15k Flagship. Credit is a strange world. We all must be an algorithm to banks.

Big congrats on the approval!

 

I wonder if it is Flagship that is playing a part in some of these approvals.  They seem to be very liberal in approving that card and the vast majority of approvals are for $15,000.  Could the fact that it is their AF card make them more liberal in granting that card?  Does holding a Flagship make it easier to obtain a 3rd card, as opposed to maybe having their GR and AmEx?

Congratulations. Navy loves low DTI. Just keep doing what you're doing, and you'll have three five digit cards before you know it.

 

As for Amex, keep using the Gold card for a year. The revolvers will likely open up then.

No credit news is good credit news!
