Help getting into GTE CU?

TyrannicalDuncery3 · ‎12-23-2024

I applied to GTE from out of state and was rejected due to Socure. Any ideas for me? Any backdoors to get in?

Would it help to go into the branch? (I know that sometimes helps in general, but I mean does anyone have thoughts specific to GTE.)

Have:

Citi Shop Your Way Mastercard, similar to Sears Mastercard

Citi Strata, converted from Rewards+; Rewards+ benefits end July 2026

Bank of America Business Advantage Customized Cash Rewards

Want:

Bank of America Customized Cash Rewards Visa: second copy, hopefully still Susan G Komen version

Bank of America Cash Rewards Mastercard: P/C from Bank Americard

Are there eligibility requirements?

Yes. However, there are many ways to join our Credit Union! Through family, your place of employment, where you live or joining our CU Savers club, it’s easy to become a member.

Ooh, interesting!! I didn't run into any eligibility requirements when I was applying (that I remember, anyway), but maybe that will help me. I will PM you why they are good, anyone can feel free to ask me but the info is public.

If any of y'all are able to learn anything about any of their screening practices (particularly Socure, maybe which Socure products they use), I'd appreciate it!

Or if you can share your recent # of bank accounts opened/closed/active.
