Question regarding FrestStart Fingerhut Program...?

Hi All!!!

 

I am wondering... I was finally approved for the FreshStart Program with Fingerhut. Yay me! Ok... I am wondering how quickly I can pay it off and get the credit card. I just ordered last week and recieved the item. There is no statement yet...? Nothing is due but my goal is to get this account moving quickly... any advise???

 

 

Thanks!

im doing the same program. they told me it doesnt matter how fast you paid the installment loan off as long as the payments were on time, id still get the revolving TL 30 days later, but i ordered...made an on time payment...and plan to pay off balance the NEXT billing cycle. not sure it makes any difference though.

Nice, grats Dobird!

 

What length of time elapsed between you paying off the initial installment loan, and your approval of the new revollving account?
