Do they provide a place to make a 9 month interest bearing deposit?

chase, mbna, BOA, citi, amex...boring cards. everone body has one (well not me except for AUs).

 

but FNBO? JCB? Blue Ball?

 

there are some many cards that are not run of the mill. and many offer better APRs and other terms than the BIG BOYS/GIRLS cards from chase, mbna, BOA, citi, amex...

[lbjones]

unsure if this is what you are looking for, but around here Umpqua Bank has sprung up lately. they have visas issued by elan...

[Elotemuygrande]

American State Bank in Texas has a nice looking card at 6.9% fixed interest for everyone. Have one, never used it.

I have no idea.

[lupoman]

blue ball i HAVE to apply for that card

[hegemony]

Who did they pull?  did you have many inqs?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

EX, and I had 3 inqs in EX in the past year at the time I applied. I applied for Nevada State Bank, which is the same as Zions.

[hegemony]

I think too often we focus on the "big" companies and as they continue to consolidate these regional banks and CUs are looking better and better. Further, for many of us with derogs these regional banks and CUs are better deals than ASSpire, crap1, HH, etc.

 

there are TONS of oddball cards.

Bottom of Application:

 

Yes, keep me informed via e-mail about special marketing offers from MBNA.

 

so to me it means it is a MBNA card does it not?

 

BG

[mrBlixx]

Yes, it's one of the several hundred affinity cards that MNBA issues. MBNA is well known for teaming with small banks/credit unions to extend co-branded credit.

I don't think you can apply online. you need to contact their consumer loans people.

I've posted many times here before, finding (or having) a good local CU or bank can be a huge help in rebuilding. The thing is, it usually takes doing some looking since these regional deals are not usually posted here. And not everyone wants to do their own homework, they just want the quick/easy answer.
