Congrats!
Anyway to get that utilization down before you apply? Navy's app system seems to zero in on DTI as one of the main approval factors.

With lower utilization, you have a greater chance of an approval and higher SL.

Congrats on your membership! I'm still looking for a loophole to get my foot in the door lol.

Wait a few months, decrease the credit utilization to increase your approval odds Smiley Happy

Good luck!

On the other hand, a secured card will be no pull & guaranteed success. Recently did one in branch with a friend. I think this is better than just waiting -- starts the internal scoring gears.

We did it in branch and the banker made a point of saying they would not need to pull credit. And they did not.

 

Beyond relating my experience I "guarantee" nothing. Although surely if a thing is done once it can be done again.

If you don’t want a hard pull, freeze your credit reports. That 100% guarantees you won’t get a hard pull from anyone.
