NFCU graduation and AMEX

This month marks 6 months with NFCU and they graduated my $5k card with no new pulls. My score is 666 on Experian.

 

Also was playing around on the AMEX site and went thru the pre-qualifyeer system, they said I could get the AMEX Hilton and I followed up with an application.

 

Was approved, only $1000 so I called the reconsideration line and was told they could not approve any higher till I received the card, then I should call back. 

 

So, currently I have:

NFCU unsecured $5k 6 months

Small CU secured $5k 6 months

PCB secured $200 6 months

ELAN secured $600 6 months

1st progress secured $200 6 months

1st progress secured $500 5 months

AMEX Hilton $1000 (New)

2 car loans (4 years on one and 7months the other )

Small bank loan

Not reported LOC loan 2 months old

 

Looks like another 6 months of gardening, but will ask NFCU in 3 months  and AMEX (soon) to raise limits

Re: NFCU graduation and AMEX

Congratulations on your NFCU graduation and Amex approval!

You have a good number of credit lines to start off with.  Like you said, a little bit of gardening and a few SP will be good - and continue your progress.👍 

Good luck on the recon for an increase with Amex!

That's terrific! 🥳 Congratulations on your graduation 🧑🏾‍🎓 with NFCU. Am I correct in understanding that it was originally secured at $6K, please? And they then graduated 🧑🏼‍🎓 it at the same dollar threshold SL? 🙏🏻

Congratulations on the approval for the AMEX, too! 🥳🥳🥳
