Thanks everyone... approved NFCU cash rewards

First, I want to thank everyone here with the valuable info on this site.   A little about me. Recently ,I have taken a more responsibility in regard my finances.  I have a a few cards, BofA rewards USAA, , Capital one and NFCU.  The NFCU account had an limit of 10k and the balance was 9800. With an interest rate of 18%, I have only paid 1000 in 3 years .   My FICO Score was in the low 600s , so I was desperate for relief.  After doing research( primarily this site), I found a solution.   My fiancé  applied and received Penfed (10k limit), Discover It (9k limit), and Citibank (15k limit).  Was denied Chase even with her 760 score . Go figure.  She put me on all cards as an AU and divided the 8800 balance equally between Discover and Penfed with 0% transfer balance for 18 months and 1 year.  In 3 months my FICO Score has jumped to 685.   Today I applied for the Navy Cashback card and was approved for 20k!!   Thanks again for everyone’s help...

Congrats! I can certainly relate with not paying more attention to my credit, and the when you start to make better decisions with them then paying off, the feelings awesome!

Congrats! It's a great feeling to tackle something like this and get things moving in the right direction! In my case I used the approach to my credit for years that if i dont look at it then i dont have to worry about it...not so much.

She was probably denied for Chase due to the three inquiries. 

AMEX 30k & EveryDay 11.5K
Discover 27K
Wells Fargo 23k
Chase Amazon 22k
US Bank Cash+ 20K
Plat 14.4K
Citi Simplicity 9.1K
Loan 8K -> 3.6k
Auto Loan 5.9K -> Paid Off!

She applies to Chase first.  She was as baffled as I.

ahh. Chase can be weird. More and more I read, I’m glad got approved with all the inquiries and new accounts I had back in September for the Amazon! And with a decent SL of 2k,.. can’t wait to increase it to 10k or higher.
