They pulled TU. My score is 656 on that one. Zero inquiries. Have not applied for a single account or new card since 11/2017, when I originally got a Discover secured card for $200 (that graduated at 7 months to $1,400 CL). I still have 2 charge offs w/ Capital One and 4 old collections showing on my report. One Cap 1 account has a balance of $1,800. The other Cap 1 has a balance of $3,200. Honestly I expected a denial or a $500 credit limit. The time it took me to apply and be approved was about 2 mins. No kidding. Easiest app I've done in my life. Literally asked for my employment status (full time employed), the name of my employer and my yearly gross income. Nothing else. Too easy. I'm still a little shocked here.
So now I have a Discover card and a Navy Cash Rewards card. I have a traditional mortgage @ 3.25% that I've had for 14 yrs w/ Wells Fargo. And the never ending Federal student loans.... but, I do have a Master's Degree to show for it. My vehicle is paid off. I'll drive it until it won't drive no more.
Thanks everyone for the congrats!

Now I have a couple questions for those of you more familiar with Navy's credit products....
1) Do I use it heavily and pay in full monthly to enhance my future cards/credit limits with them?
2) Remind me please--I should apply for CLI 91/3, right? And also app for another card with them at the same time? Or not?
They're not fussy. Do right by them, they'll do right by you.
