NFCU Platinum Approval

NFCU Platinum Approval

I was in the market for a PLOC and feeling that PenFed was going to deny me, I apped for a $25K PLOC with NFCU.  Instant approval but at an aggregious rate 16.43% for 60 months. I continued with the app and decided to take it as it will be paid off in 6 months and I havent filed my taxes yet and may need it. If I don't need it for my taxes, I will just use the funds to repay the loan and build some good will for a lower rate in the future. The positive thing is I got in. 

 

On that high, I pulled the trigger for a Platinum card solely for the low interest rate (maybe).  It went to review, but 20 minutes later I got a text that I was approved. Yay!!! I called for the SL and it was $3K. BOO!!!!  APR 7.24% YES!!!! This would be a great card for short term, low interest large purchases, but $3K ugh!!!

 

FYI - they pulled TU for me. I got the alert from Creditwise, TU and CK almost instantly. I'll update once I know what score they pulled. My current myFICO 8 for TU is 720. My current stats are in my siggy.

 

I was hoping to app for the Chase Sapphire Reserve before going into the garden for a year, but I may need to head there now.

Congratulations on the PLOC and new card! And wouldn't worry about the current limit of the card it'll grow over time.

Re: NFCU Platinum Approval

Hahaha. I haven't even gotten the check yet and the two week payoff is over $100 of interest. If this was a 16% credit card, I'd think I hit the jackpot.

@simplynoir that's what I'm reading. I got my foot in, so now it's time to wait.
