BECU membership & Chex inquiry sensitivity

A couple of years back I joined the Northwest Credit Union Foundation so that I would qualify for membership in BECU.

 

And then I got turned down by BECU for having too many Chex inquiries.

 

I tried again, last week, with my last Chex inquiry being 4 months ago.

 

This time I got approved.

 

It took about 5 days, but other than that it was pretty seamless.  After about 3 days I was asked to upload a utility bill. About 2 or 3 days after that the approval arrived, and it was easy to get set up online.

Re: BECU membership & Chex inquiry sensitivity

BECU is just a SP against TU to join other then Chex inquiry right?    Been around January since I tried to join a new CU and can't apply for credit right now due to mortage whenever dang house is finished being built.  Mise well dump some money in them if approved.  Just can't take a HP hit.

All I know is there was no hard pull.

SouthJamaica, 


Congratulations on joining BECU!  After the initial jumping through hoops to join, I'm impressed with what I've seen so far.

 

What was your CL on you're BECU Visa?

I didn't really have to indulge in hoop jumping, only hoop was to upload a utility bill Smiley Happy

 

Starting CL on the Visa is 20k.  No hoop jumping there, either....   yet.

Once I have the card activated, and can see the account online, then I'll exhale.
