Added, thanks
$250 back on $500 spend. Pretty nice!
Got me all excited and see it’s credit card.. 🙁
They pull Experian unfortunately, at least they mention this up front on their website.
I live in San Diego, but go to LA on occasion. is that enought to apply?
Just in case, photoshop your head onto a USC water polo team shot.
Aunt Becky?
they want a personal reference’s name, number, address! it’s like a generic loan application you happen to select ‘credit card’ for.
Thank you for your recent application for a MASTERCARD REWARD CREDIT CARD. Your request for a MASTERCARD REWARD CREDIT CARD was carefully considered, and we regret that we are unable to approve your application at this time for the following reason(s):
Excessive Number of Open Revolving Accounts
Length of Time Accounts have been Established
Type and Number of Inquiries
do I pick mastercard rewards from the dropdown menu?? why is this considered a Loan for a credit card is that standard? havent applied for a cc from a credit union need some clarity 😮
was provisionally approved but they did want to see most recent paystubs to back up income.
for self-employment (P2) they want to see 2 years of tax returns.
you also have to apply for membership separately (in theory, you can be denied), which cost $9.
So this bonus is really $241.
One Must Be an USC Alumni to take advantage the ‘ALUMNIREWARDS’ promo code. I learned it the hard way, after a hard-pull credit check done when submitting application, only to find it out (after the fact) from two incompetent workers (kid at receptionist desk and tall girl with glasses staff) at USC Credit Union branch located inside USC Village
It appears they changed the language after the fact.
“This one-time promotion is limited to new members opening an account in response to this offer.” was the language at the time of app.
They changed it after to “This one-time promotion is limited to new members who are USC Alumni opening an account in response to this offer. ”
Ripe for CFPB complaint. Screw these Trojans, I always hated them anyway.
