NFCU Cash Rewards; first big success after rebuild

Hi all, so happy I couldn't wait to post so I'm posting from my phone.

So, i applied for NFCU membership and NFCU cash rewards on April 1. Double HP for TU. Got 24 hour review message. Next day I was declined. Called same day for info/recon under guise of other questions and was told nothing could be done via phone and should wait to appeal after receiving reason for denial via mail. I was so impatient I immediately sent a polite secure message stating I understand their concern and speculated the reason for denial to be recent inquiries and prior bankruptcy. I stated my recent inquiries were for products to help me rebuild and I did not plan to keep them long term. I explained I was hoping to establish a line of credit with NFCU for the long term and would be happy with any limit (no limit too small) as I am focused on rebuilding and aging my current tradelines.

Anyway, received approval message just now (APril 4). Limit 4600 and to expect card within 7 business days. Other details not known.

Stats I am aware of off the top of my head:
- TU 606 and EQ 625 as of march 19-20. Should have been about 21% uti at that time on one account. Not sure what it was on April 1. Possible it was under 9%.
- 4 revolving accounts opened since December with total available at 1,800.
-6 inquiries on TU and 4 on EQ
-1 late payment august or September of 2015. I can never remember.
-ch 7 bankruptcy discharge Jan 2015
-income 50k

I am so excited I was approved, And blown away by the limit. Looking forward to growth over time. Thank you NFCU, looking forward to our relationship.

Welcome aboard!  Remember to wait at least 90 days not three statements to ask for a CLI.
