NFCU CLI question

Anonymous · ‎02-27-2016

Hi everyone, first time posting but have been reading very useful information for awhile.

I recently joined NFCU in Jan '16 got the flagship checking, savings and the visa signature cc with a CL of 6k. I just applied for the CLOC and got approved for 15k! (Thanks to everyone here).

My question is when should I apply for a CLI on the visa cc?

Thanks again!

There is a great and ultra long thread here on NFCU CLI's that you should subscribe to Credit Addict started it a long time ago and it contiunues to keep everyone in the loop. Basically you wait until the third statement is cut before you request a CLI, also every two months NFCU does a soft pull of every credit account holder to determine their elibility so if you time it right you can get a CLI without a HP. They call that soft pull an AR, the next one is coming up any day now.

Thanks workingfor850. I'll look out for that AR on my report and then to the CLI

Hope I can get that 25k CL!

always ask for $25k, they will counter or give you the full amount. If you ask for more than that, it will automatically go into 3-5 review with a HP.

It'll cost you a hard pull. I always wait for the auto cli which I've been getting every 6 months with them.

Many folks have reported requesting a CLI without a HP, in particular after an AR is done.

Check out Creditaddict's thread over in applications for more info.

Don't make the mistake I did. I had my account for 4 months and had only used it for a small purchase right after I got the card (to make sure it was active). I didn't use it after that because I was using Discover exclusively. I saw there had been an AR so I thought I would hit that love button. Not only was I declined for not enough usage to justify the need for an increase, they did a hp to boot..... Ooops lol

Sigh...an HP and a denial -couldn't have been any worse. At least you laughed it off 👍👍
