Re: NFCU opinions

In the op's case I'd get mom to call and see if shes eligible. If so have her join then you can join through her. If you try and do get accepted on your own there's a high chance the security dept will catch it and won't approve it and shut you down.

Shogun you hang out a lot in the rebuilding section. You've seen this happen several times

that's true but I have nothing to hide, worst comes to shove if your talking about me is I can provide documentation,

 

also if you have a roommate who has a Navy account you can qualify.  

 

https://www.navyfederal.org/about/eligibility-checklist.php

 

"Family Members—including grandparents, parents, spouses, siblings, grandchildren, children (including adopted and stepchildren) and household members"

 

I called to inquire about what was "household members" and they stated anyone living with you that contributes to the household.  PSECU does the samething I been looking for a PSECU roommate forever LOL

Re: NFCU opinions

I love NFCU so far.  I wonder if it depends who you talk to for membership.  When I called in, I told the lady my Grandfather was retired from the Air Force and asked her if I was eligible.  She put me on hold for a second and then said yes.  She never asked me for any of his information - not even his name!  I wonder if when they ran my credit, they showed we shared an address at one point.  Or something.  I have no idea!!!  I thought that was odd.

Re: NFCU opinions

LOL...GUILTY!!

 

I think I will qualify and am going to give it a try.  I am in the garden for a while, but I can always get some savings going with them and hopefully try for the card some time next year!!!
