100% chance of approval for PRG. And the balance doesn't harm your utilization percent... that's why I love it. Perfect for folks who spend a lot.

Nfcu has limited options on cards and if you decide you want a different card just call them and they can switch your card for example if you have cash card and decide you need flagship just call them. No need to reapply or cancel anything just product change Smiley Happy

I got my first amex with 18 inq and got nfcu with 19 inq. They don't care. They aren't like chase or Barclay. My starting limit with nfcu was 22k. Now I'm at 25k and I have a 22k amex revolver on top.

I'm all about the gardening but I see no point in waiting. I say go for it and do nfcu then you can garden for years and close low limit cards.

I would go for the card that makes you the most rewards cash while charging the least fees.Their Signature Cash Rewards card. if you apply online be prepared for the shock of getting a FAT limit.

Nfcu takes a few days to process your info but then they will call and give you online access and everything... the few days you have to wait are well worth it and if you get a nfcu card you can do a balance transfer until the end of the month from any of your other loans or cards and get no interest for 1 year as long as you do it before the end of the month. Its a promotion. Also; nfcu never has balance transfer fees or cash advance fees and the rewards on my cash card are super easy to redeem.
