NFCU Secured & Capital One QS Approved!

IT has been a while since having a new card, it's time to do it correctly this time.  Going to be much smarter with finances now going forward.  

NFCU Secured card $300 limit

Capital One Quicksilver (for good credit?) $3,000 limit.  ($0 annual fee and 1.5% Cash back on purchases)

 

Not bad at all, very thankful for these a week after BK7 DC

 

I know the FICO gods like 3 revolvers....I would love the Apple card, but I know that is a pipe dream right now...So, question is, 2 revolvers ok for now?  I have no problem with that.  I burned Disco, so I know its going to be a min....It would be cool to get in with my primary bank (BOA) the secured card?

 

Thanks yall!

Congrats on those approvals!! Navy will grow fairly quick, and that Cap One suggests you're not in low bucket.

Re: NFCU Secured & Capital One QS Approved!

@blindambition Thank you!  Thats a good think on the Cap 1 card for sure, so maybe not a low bucketed card?

You're pretty much guaranteed a low growth card when initial SL is $1k or less. Anything above gives you some hope. Of course usage and their ever changing CLI criteria will play a part. Cap One likes heavy and consistent usage.
