Affinity Cash Rewards Approval

Title says it.  Exp Score 777 at time of application.  Was at 840 2.5 months ago crySmiley Sad..  New House bought along with a new car all reporting 100% installment right now took a big hit on scores along with 4 new cards and multiple new inquiries moved me from 840+ to 777.  It will recover in about a year as installment on car is paid down, etc.  Anyways Got approved with said score.  They certainly are in no hurry at that CU as took 8 days to approve and their customer service line wait is horrible if you try to call them, but it all worked out.  No POI or anything else.  22.5k approval.  A bit weird of an approval thought was going to be a 5k or 25k approval from DP's.  Income is sufficient guessing the new accounts in the last few months along with my big house purchase and big car purchase probably caused a bit lower than expected amount.  Needless to say happy with approval and amount.  Any questions of DP's I left out please let me know and will do my best to fill in the blanks.  Since moving end of June to Florida the following approvals:

14k citi premier

20k us bank alt connect

22.5k bofa premium rewards

30k Chase Amazon

New house

New AMG Benz

 

This is the end of it for a year for me unless a shiny unicorn comes out though.

@CreditCuriosity, Excellent Choice & Congratulations!

 

777 is not all that bad  ..  @Mahraja says regarding scores; "They are kinda irrelevant"

 

I don't know that 850 would get me anything better than 777.  (maybe a fraction of an APRSmiley Tongue)

Re: Affinity Cash Rewards Approval

Well this is interesting. I cannot remember if they did POI for me when I applied back in Dec 2021. When I did start a thread asking about, it looks like it 50/50 right down the middle.

Re: Affinity Cash Rewards Approval

Opened the account about too weeks ago had to upload SS card and DL and proof of address then.  Also Opened up then the 3.5% up to 5k savings and dumped 5k into it.  Figured it would help and along a good return in current economical situation.  Maybe that helped provide the no POI or seeing limits on my CR might of avoided it, who knows.

idk I opened my membership about 3-4 before applying. I opened up the Checking & that 3.5% savings to get started. Of course at that time, my credit wasn't good (my eyes) so I waited for Dec.

 

When I applied in Dec I can't remember about POI but the system gave me the system approval without mention the CL or APR. After a rep jumped on it, they said $5k for and the lowest APR (surprising) for me.
