658.0. "question about acess to ADVANTAGE" by JUPITR::BROWER () Mon Apr 26 1993 19:21

          I have sort of a dum question. I recently was approved for 
    an ADVANTAGE credit line. I plan on consolidating some credit/car
    loans. Does the DCU issue separate checks for this or do I write
    a check against my DCU checking account? It's not very clear in
    the literature how you access the credit line...

    One way is to transfer from the loan account to your checking 
    account. You can do it through easy-touch or through the DCU ATMS.
    Then all you have to do is write a check from your checking account.
    
    Works great as I am over here in Germany now and can do it very easy
    through the phone.
    
    The other way is to just write a check that over drafts your checking
    account. The DCU automatically transfers the money from the loan
    account to your checking account =)
    
    Cheers,

    I have checks to access my Advantage credit line.
658.3Secured by property?HOTLNE::CORMIERTue Jan 31 1995 11:014
    Is this loan secured by property, or simply a credit card without the
    credit card?  The loan booklet isn't very helpful.  Also doesn't state
    any maximum or minimum.

I think ADVANTAGE is what I have -- it's the overdraft protection
on our checking account.  It's more like a credit card without
a card.  There is a credit limit.  But there is no minimum.
You should be able to find the credit limit on your monthly
statement, or call up the touch-tone system and inquire for
the balance on this "loan" (I believe it's usually suffix 1).
It will report your balance and then tell you how much leftover
credit is available -- add the 2 numbers to get your limit.
