Re: US Bank Smartly Approval Thread

Ok, I will go.

 

Approval amt:  $15000

Pulled EQF 800 (FL)  

0/6, 1/12, 3/24 with 1% UTI

 

(I opened a Smartly Savings account at the same time and plan to fund it to get the 3% tier.)

Re: US Bank Smartly Approval Thread

It's been a long while since I've posted here, but this one was too good to pass up Smiley Happy

 

And looks like they loosened up requirements because I thought I'd get a denial.

  • Inquiries: 1/6, 6/12
  • New Accounts: 0/6, 5/12
  • Instant approval online
  • No idea which CRA they used as I haven't recieved any pings but these were my scores (TU 789, EQ 800, EX 770)
  • 10 total active cards
  • State: CT

As soon as the card was approved it prompted me to open a savings accounts - dropped in $25 and got my online account setup. Looking forward to building this one up

Congrats! I thought US Bank had a certain territory you had to be in at one point (maybe I am wrong) and see you are in CT. I am in RI and this is pretty tempting if I can, indeed, apply for it.

They've definitely relaxed their approval underwriting because I'm at 4/6, 4/12

 

was hoping for a limit of at least 5k seeing as how it's a visa siggy, but I needed a 2% catch all anyhow

 

pulled eq in florida, instant approval

@SteamyBean 

They are odd with borders, but those don't apply to credit cards. Cards are open to everyone nationally and once you have a card you can sign up for any of their other products.
