PenFed gave my wife a 20k limit card with her next highest cc at $1800 at that time.

Whee!  I thought from reading these forums Penfed was extremely conservative: any idea if she just happened to have a gold-plated FICO score regardless of the credit limits on her old cards?

This is the first time I have ever heard of PenFed giiving such a huge starting out credit limit.  Your wife must have a FICO® in the 800s and make $250,000 a year!!! 

 

That's amazing! CONGRATULATIONS--Smiley Happy
