Re: $76 away from $300K Go Navy!

That's amazing congratulations. I just got with Navy Federal last year. After reading your post I am ecstatic. I was just hoping to reach the $25k limit on my card then slowly move up to a total of $75k across two cards with them because that's what I've heard. Now hearing that you have amassed almost $300k in available credit, lets me know that I need to aim higher. Thanks Smiley Happy @AverageJoesCredit Any advise that you could give me would be golden.

Thanks. Even though i cant do on my cards carrying my debt, my best advice is to use your cards and if possible pay in full most charges. Thats how i keep my other cards, like Sync , low by using it then paying the charge when i can.  Life happens , as it has for me, but  trying to make sure you are on time with payments and showing usage will help tremendously.  With Navy this applies tremendously.  Even carrying a scary smount of debt,  they still approved another cli whereas most lenders wouldnt dare. Slow and steady and in due time, you'll  see the limits riseSmiley Happy
