I've been eyeing NFCU Amex & CashRewards...even though I belong in the garden...SMH. Well, I'm glad that I didn't go into hiding yet..lol. I app'd for the Amex, and so glad that I did.
***INSTANT APPROVAL - $25K!!*** This is my largest TL
Sidebar: I requested a CLI from $24k to $25k on GoRewards earlier this week, went into review, and I never received a response. I'm assuming it was denied.
**UPDATE 11/19: Pulled trigger on CLOC CLI request to let the inquiries age together - requested full $15k.. rec'd text to call, at the same time rec'd TU alerts. They offered $1K. -_- I took it because they have been generous enough. Can't complain.
Data Points:
NFCU EQ Fico 09: 690
CCT Scores (4 days ago): EX 651 TU 680 EQ 655
Util: ~26-27% overall (my GoRewards has the largest balance ~34% reporting...other cards are reporting $0 or b/t 10% - 30%)
*I'm in New York, and they definitely pulled TU because my phone received alerts from TU monitoring apps.
My scores have been fluctuating due to applying for new credit, small balances reporting (soon to be $0), EX deleting a good trade line instead of 2 old "lates" that I tried to GW, and inquiries. No recent lates reporting, and I make multiple payments per month to my creditors.
I definitely did not expect such a NICE SL, if an approval at all!! I LOVE NAVY!! I think it's time to move ALL of my banking over
