So I joined NFCU on December 12th, 2016. ALL because of what was being tossed around on this forum. March 12th was my 90 day and the AR had been done. I app'd for a CLOC that I was denied for when I joined and only asked for $3000 (was scared due to recent denials). GOT IT. Also app'd for a CLI on my Cash Rewards and was denied.
So today, I'm reading and reading on here and notice something I hadn't before. On a post from like 2008, a guy app'd for CLI on his Cash Rewards and had a high balance. He asked the forum why and the resounding answer was *DUH*....high balance. So he didn't really reply but I figured WTH. Paid off all but $71.99 and re-app'd today. Went from $1400.00 to $7,000.00 instant approval with rep on the phone (initially was looking for recon options but had to take the hard pull, oh well).
I AM FREAKING OUT! Never in my life have I had this much credit. I can use my cards now within my means and PIF monthly and NOT at a crazy UTIL!!!!!
Thank you NFCU and THANK YOU fellow board members. Without you and this forum, I would not have accomplished this today.
Now...off to the garden for a LOOOOOONG time.
THANKS AGAIN!!!!!
Congrats on your CLI. NFCU is fantastic and that card will continue grow in the future.

Scores and UTi at the time of both Approvals for Cc and Cloc plz , also how many inquiries and new accounts in the lady year?
OK, sorry had to get back to work before I could find all my documents. Everything is below.
SCORES: EX: 652, EQ: 629, TU: 649
UTIL: All zero except NFCU Cash Rewards which had a zero dollar balance. When I app'd for CLOC the week before it was a bit higher, had a $1000 balance on NFCU CR that I KNOW was the only factor keeping me from an instant approval on that one. Also had $100 balance on Cap1. Small balance helps with NFCU, clearly.
NEW ACCOUTNS THIS YEAR:
CAP1 Quicksilver 8/1
NFCU Cash Rewards 12/1
SAC FCU CLOC 7/1
INQUIRIES:
EX - 6, EQ - 7, TU - 7. (Was credit hunting/app spreeing)
