NFCU Question

Should i apply for credit card and line of credit now (current score 644 eq) i realize my limit will be low but they do have a "luv" button and im sure it would increase over time. OR shall i wait until the end of the year when my score will go up and all my inquiries will be off, then i will  get a higher limit to start with.  THOUGHTS?????

Not necessarily.  (Case in point)  NFCU is notorious for giving high CLs.

Re: NFCU Question

Myself and many others find there is no need to wait to apply when it comes to NFCU.

 

Good Luck

There is not a good reason to wait in my honest opinion

Re: NFCU Question

You got to realize one thing with NFCU what ever standards that have been set by other lenders, you can throw it out the window with NFCU, there simply the most generous of the credit card world look at my siggy. Just app online you may get the 5-7 day message but I wouldnt worry.
