NFCU 3rd CC Approval - Platinum @ $15K

DH applied for his 1st NFCU CC yesterday and was approved for the Platinum @ $15K (the lowest interest rate possible). That started me down the path of wondering if I could get approved for a 3rd NFCU CC. After reading many posts on 3rd CC stats, I went ahead and took the plunge! Approved for $15K @ 14.99% on the Platinum card. Not the best APR but considering my profile, I consider this a win and my largest SL ever. Consider me an NFCU customer for life!

 

Approved for: $15K @ 14.99%

TU: 653 FICO8, 637 FICO9

NFCU member since April 2018

1st card - nRewards secured $1K, opened May 2018 --> graduated, CLI to $2K, and PC'd to cashRewards September 2018

2nd card - GOREWARDS $10K, opened August 2018

Something north of 12 inquiries in the last 12 months on my TU report

Incredibly dirty file

Reported income is $101K

FICO 8 (Feb 2018):EX- 519, TU- 530, EQ- 545
FICO 8 (Sept 2022):EX- 706, TU- 685, EQ- 684

Congratulations!! 🎉🍾

I was considering NFCU Platinum. Did they pull your TU 8 score or TU 9?

I'm assuming they pulled TU FICO9 but I'll have to wait until they send the "cost of credit" letter to confirm.

Wow, Navy is really generous! They seem to give out the best limits. Why can’t any “regular” banks/cards do that? Lol

Thanks and you better believe I'll be calling at the one 1yr mark on every card I have to reduce these APRs!! I've just accepted that the cost of rebuilding/establishing credit is expensive at this phase of my journey.
