My Final Navy success story

With things getting worse, and heading for another 3 week lockdown, unlike many with secure jobs, i can only take a day at a time and  between Dads falling  health, helping my sister and nephew , and mounting debt, im probably going to step away from the credit game. But before i do, i thought id at least share a milestone that i recently achieved with Navy Federal. It aint no 100k credit card but for me it was something that just seemed impossible but happened nonethelessSmiley Wink.

 

Earlier in the month i decided to try for a cli on my $1500 Plat, that started out as a $500 cc. Tried and got recent change denial. Lol, you know me, a week later tried again for s & g since my reports are locked. 2 days later i checked my account and the limit was different! Approved! I asked for $5k and got it ! This now put my Navy exposure at 30k! Not alot for those who get instant 25k cards but heck , i dont even make that. 

 

About a week later, with a smorgasboard full of hps from Navy still on my TU , reports still locked, i figured what the heck, i know i have 6 months since last cli on my CR. It currently had a cl of 25k which i never imagined i could get, took me three years to achieve. So without thinking  too much lol, filled in the form and put 30k . Lol, no way is Navy giving me that haha. They know exact money i make . 2 days later check my account and unbelievably,  approved for 4k to 29k!! Highest amount ever! NO POI either!

 

Navy has now entrusted me with $34k in credit, in which i dont even come close to making whereas other CUs dont even trust me for more than $1k, Service CU looking at youSmiley Wink

 

So thank you Navy! Its a blessing but also scary because i dont think i could ever reaccomplish this if ever i had to start again. Thank you all who have made my experience in credit a pleasant one, couldnt have done it without you. Blessings AJC🙋‍♂️
