5.99 APR FOR LIFE?!? Man, I'd trade in a few mine to get that. Well, not really but I'd add that to my colleciton. I gave up on FNBO.


I wish it was 5.99 APR on purchases for life! But, its only for any BT's that I do down the road which still isn't a bad trade off. FNBO is from what I've researched very tough to get in with. A steady diet of gardening the last 6 months gave me a little inspiration and their malier's are usually pretty solid.


Ooops. I missed the BT. That's still good. I have apped a few co-brand cards by FNBO with no luck. But then again, if they are inquiry senstivie, they're probably laughing their butt off when they pull my credit. Oh well.

Re: FNBO Approval!

That's a really nice starting limit which if all things else are in line, after around 4 months your SP CLI will really add nicely in growing that card with them.

 

Congratulations on your new FNBO approval! Excellent choice Smiley Happy

Re: FNBO Approval!

Thanks so much GetMeSick! From some of the things came across while researching different members approvals they will give you sp cli's if you call in and make a request. And there have been occasions where some have received auto increases. Maybe CreditMagic7 can chime in more on this subject.

Thanks, i will Smiley Happy

 

So far i always ever call in and not wait for auto because the credit staff are so friendly and upfront,

 

They will let you know if you're account is eligible for a SP right there and then.

 

I also read some FNBO posts where members find a surprise auto-CLI and likely because they don't follow those schedules or patterns as much as others. Smiley Wink

 

Hope that helps.

I got mine around 1/2016 and it's gone from $2200 > $4500 > $10k > $15k

 

$10k was an HP but that was just me being inpatient and requesting the CLI online. $4500 and $15k were SP by calling and asking if they have any credit limit increase offers. Last time I called they asked me for income and then said I was approved for "up to $15k"
