NFCU FREAKIN' ROCKS!!

Rewind to June..

I open a NFCU account with $5, got a secured loan (immediately pd down to 9%) and applied for a Cash Rewards card (totally ready for a decline). Scores were in the low 600's with a 9 month deliquent Chase acct. Got approved for $1000 WOOT WOOT!

 

Things happen, stuff gets settled (more details in another thread later) .. badda-bing badda-boom, score rises and I'm feeling myself a little.

 

That brings me to today:

I applied for an Amex Delta Gold, DENIED😢 I didn't want to go to bed empty handed, so I tried for a CLI with Navy. Got the dreaded 24 hr notice (but my account started to reflect an available credit of $2400. Not much but, still WOOT-WOOT, right? I WANTED TO TELL YOU GUYS, I was excited! BUT, when I logged on, I found out that my better option would've been to app for a whole new NFCU CC🙄😢.

 

Geesh.. I can't take this roller coaster of emotions anymore. So, whatever, I might as well brace myself for a 3rd HP,  because a couple hrs (and a couple glasses of wine later) I started the app for a Navy Flagship Card. Knowing good and darn well, that there's a $5000 minimum. But, the spinny-thing starts spinning and the app starts processing..

Freaked out, Closed MY EYES, praying and clenching hard enough to crack a Walnut..

Opened my eyes and boom!  APPROVED...... for (get this)

$20,000!! Twenty . Thousand . Freakin' . Dollars!

Who has made this mistake?? I screenshotted it (no take-backs).. Back to my wine guys, it's been one heck of a ride🍷

Re: NFCU FREAKIN' ROCKS!!

On the Navy high too today ! Got a new auto loan back in May - Ally 14% . Just called Ally today inquiring about making a large payment to my account . Rep was really confused about whether it would be applied to my principal and gave me a total bull**bleep** run around. Signed up with Navy 2 weeks ago for checking and savings and a $500 platinum .Was happy with that . Got an email today from Navy inviting me to apply for a refinance . I figured why not since I was so annoyed with Ally . What’s another HP ? Lol. ! Put in an app ... I just transferred my direct deposit to Navy. . Took 2 hours before they replied. Approved at 4.3 % . .wth? I almost fell out of my chair!

$20K is a huge step-up!! 

 

Navy does rock!  Maybe I need to get me some of that Navy Stuff before they give it all away! 

I would love to have their Platinum Card with super-low APR - currently as low as 7.99% APR!

And the Flagship seems like a great card also. 

 

Congrats again.  No wonder everybody loves Navy ...
