The Credit Union spree continues!
Thanks to Sasuke for providing his signature line . I just joined Chartway Federal Credit Union through a $10 donation. Was going to just join and deposit $5 and wait for a pre-approval at some point. When I submitted the application it said I was instantly approved for the savings account, and also instantly approved for one of their two credit cards, both at 14.7% APR and $15,000 credit limit, I just chose the Signature Rewards since it was 1.5x cash back and boom, done!
Not sure what they pulled yet as I haven't gotten a notification...hopefully this helps someone else. Many INQ in all agencies, 20+. I didn't know they were going to pull my report at all, so anyone that wants to apply for the savings to join, beware. My pull was very productive so I don't mind .
Congratulations on your approval! First time i've heard of this union as well!
COngrats on your approval and very nice SL !!!!

Thanks for your post. I'd never heard of Chartway. Inspired by your post, I visited their site, saw they had a pretty neat card for my purposes (the Visa rewards card), applied, and was instantly approved for 15k with 9.24% interest rate.
Thank you!!!

Congrats Op
Nice @SouthJamaicaIm given her a nice look right now. Anytime i can expand my CU options outside of PF, ill take a look. I also like how i can apply from where i live, many dont take apps from my location.
Here's a tip @AverageJoesCredit
I applied for the credit card first. Applied for 15k and was instant approved
I applied for membership afterwards. After I'd submitted my app for the savings & checking, guess what: there was a
message that I was preapproved for the credit card at 25k at 9.24%.
So it's possible that, had I applied for the deposit accounts first, I might have wound up with a 25k card instead of a 15k card.
Congratulations!
It’s good to see another decent CU option (although ScoreCard valuations are .6-.8cpp normally so I definitely wouldn’t put a lot of spend on them) that everyone can join!
