at which time they offered the card? Also, did your scores change much in the 2 years?
Thanks for sharing!
Nope, did not apply in person. I don't even live in Illinois! Applied online, and someone called me back and offered to do both the credit card (since I'd be able to earn more interest) and the car loan refinancing.
Scores did change a bit over the last two years.... Went from around 680 to around 722-724 depending on the CRA.
Congratulations! I remember seeing this credit union when I went to visit my grandmother up in Northern Illinois.
Very nice, congrats on your success !!
