So I just read this thread and applied for my 18 year old son with NFCU. He has been a member there for about a year and maintains a good checking account, he makes 15k a year and they just approved him for 10,200! for the cash rewards card. Any idea why they would give him such a high limit??? Im kinda freak out right now.


Congratulations on DS approval! Mark his calendar for 91 days and 3 statements for card number 2! Then repeat for card number 3!

This is what NFCU is known for. As long as you teach him to be responsible with it, it's a huge boost to a young file.

Re: Best card for my 18 year old?

Thank you. I taught him very well. I am just surprised at the high limit. I checked his FICO because I added him as AU to my DISC card about 3 months ago and its at a 699! Hes def getting a better start than I did. Thanks for the insight
