FNBO (First Bankcard) Approval

Got a flier from FNBO offering a card with 0% APR on balance transfers and purchases for 15 months. No annual fee either. SInce I've got a nice tax bill due, I figured, why not? Applied online with the codes included in the flier and got instantly approved for $8500. The card arrives in the mail in 7-10 days.

 

Surprised given the number of recent accounts and inquiries within the last 12 months on my EX report. Not complaining though!

 

EX 700

Squarely in LOL/24 territory, but maybe only 6 INQs in the last 12 months

Maybe 4 or 5 new accounts in the same time frame

11% UTI

I Have Way Too Many of These.

American Express - No CLI or Appreciation Gift in 7 Years

Citibank - Handing Out Credit Limits Like Candy

Reason you were approved was due to that mailing otherwise would have been denied for inquiries they are pretty sensitive to lots of those. Congrats on the card Smiley Happy
