Re: US Bank Altitude Go + 4 other Cards!

Wow. I can't believe they opened the credit cards when you burned them on 2 seperate checking accounts. Congrats on those niiiiiice approvals btw!

 

Did u ask about opening their Safe Debit account? A checkless no overdraft account.

Re: US Bank Altitude Go + 4 other Cards!

Thanks. No I didn't. I was so in a hurry trying to get out of there thinking they would cancel it out that I wasn't going to ask for anything else. Iwasn't comfortable until I actually activated and made my first purchase lol. I am however going to try to have an account opened after my dispute comes back with chex systems.

Haha I understand that. Glad everything has worked out for you!!

 

At least big banks are getting better about offering "second chance" accounts for people with ChexSystem and EWS issues to get them back into the banking world. Almost all of them offer a checkless, no overdraft option now. I would know the struggle. I burned PNC on a checking account a few years ago and had fallen on self inflicted hard times (moved back home and didn't budget well at all) and my local credit union still won't let me open a checking account ... but they trust me with a $15k credit card, $5k unsecured loan @ 5.99% and pre-approval for a car loan up to $60k for 2.89%. Aaaaand they're the only bank or CU that has denied me a checking account. No other bank, big or small has ever denied me for an account. Wild.

Thanks to the MF Family as this never would have been possible without you:

Approved for the Go with on Nov 4th with a 704 Trans that had 2 student loans with 9 lates a piece, a charged off BofA secured CC last reported as payed off Jan 1 2019, 1 inquiry last 6 months, 7 in last 24 with 1 account in last 6 months and 8 in last 24. I walked in to a branch planning to open up a checking/savings to establish an relationship with US Bank and when the rep said would you like to app I said what the hell and wolla approved for 4500! Totally unexpected. Funny thing is they wouldn't open up the darn bank account. LOL. By the way as a footnote, I apped for 8 CC's and came away with 5 over the course of a week so off to the garden!!! Smiley Wink Thanks Again.


Congrats on this!
