NFCU - How long did you wait to apply for credit after becoming a member?

I just became a member of NFCU today and wasn't sure if I should wait to apply for a credit card (unsecured) through NCFU? Just wanted to see if anyone else did right away or waited.

Go ahead and apply now, first card will likely be a low limit. After 91 days hit them up for a secord card and a cloc.

This isn't necessarily true.  Your approval and initial credit limit is determined by your credit report and NFCU internal scoring.  I have a BK on my report and my first card with them was approved at $20k.

I joined NFCU on 10-24. They do a soft pull of your credit report. The rep who did my application asked if I wanted to apply for a credit card and I did. I received the card within 4 days and was given a $15,000 CL. You get yor debit card immediately.
