Lake Michigan Creidt Union has a pretty nice 6.25% rate card. But my lowest rate card is my Surpass at 11.40%

 

Off topic: Ive also been really itching to join LMCU to take advantage of their 3% APY checking, only thing stopping me is they want a HP on my TU report Smiley Sad


Dang, 6.25%! Do you know if this card has rewards of any type?

 

Edit: thanks for your response!

If you're gardening, Opening a CU bank account/checking doesn't reset garden date. No need to fear that HP.


Right, but you wont find 3% checking anywhere else. Best ive found after a ton of research was 2.0x% out of my service area, after that its the  .90 - 1.05% rates.


Right...so don't let a little HP keep you from earning 3%.

EQ was about the same it is now. TU was 714. Yes, it was a double pull. Smiley Tongue

Ugh! A double pull! Is it always a double pull or are you special? Smiley Happy 

 

 

 

 

It just hit me that I could probably search for this topic - but to go with tonight's theme of no searching, I will leave it for now unless you tell me to shove off and search!

I suspect they couldn't approve for decent CL with just my EQ report, so they went for my TU as well and based my approval off that. ($10,000 SL)

Dammit to freaking heck - 10k??!? UGH. The CU let me "pick my own limit" and not wanting to be greedy I said 2,500. UGH!! Wonder what I could have said......... It's a bad thing if they don't counter. Darn!!!

If it makes you feel better. They won't approve a SP CLI due to "Sufficient universal revolving credit"
