Congrats on your NFCU Flagship approval! Awesome SL! 
Wow, congratulations! I'm considering joining Navy Federal. My father was a veteran of WWII; he crossed France and Germany with General Patton. My son has a T-shirt that says, "My Grandfather Helped Liberate Europe".
However, my father is long dead. Does anyone know if I still qualify? How do I sign up? (Sorry to hijack the thread!)
Thanks!
you are fine to apply for membership. I got in with them over the phone back in August. my grandfather served in WW2. i looked up all his info online including his DOB, SS#, and service dates so id be prepared when i called. it was surprisingly painless. they asked me what branch he served in but never asked his name or details! oh, and he passed away in 1970. I love navy!!

I think your 600 does matter that much to Navy, they liked my income and history I had with them.
I used my cash reward card twice in the last three months and paid in full each time.
And still got 20k with a very low TU score.

Thank you. I have suspected that I might actually be approved for an unsecured card with NFCU before a few of the usual secured card suspects. I have been thinking it would be a complete crapshoot though until I was ove 600. But then again NFCU seems to have this secret "internal scoring model". If that is really the case and not just theory, perhaps my solid spending and PIF history might account for something.
Way to slam it home though... that will change a few things regarding your file.
Here is my first ever "offer"... It is "good" until the end of Dec and I should be over 600 by then so perhaps...
