Either of the two top-end Penfed rewards cards: Penfed Plat Rewards or Penfed Premium Travel Rewards.
CSP just isn't that difficult to get anymore at least in the current market. I think it was a lot more difficult pre-June '12; however, along with the Freedom there's been some approvals in the last fourish months that leave me scratching my head based on the information we've commonly accepted as accurate previously.
There was a thread a few months ago about the most difficult cards to obtain, and there just aren't that many anymore... most of the "goal cards" people talk about on this forum are now obtainable by the non-gold-plated mortals on this forum, and we're not exactly the prettiest of credit consumers with our behavior patterns. That includes the Amex SPG, I nearly fell out of my chair on two recent approvals for that card. Nowhere close to where it used to be.
Off topic looking at the Penfed card list, think I just found my replacement for my old Orchard, we don't talk about the Penfed baby cards, but I just noticed that none of them have a FTF in addition to the no AF. Wonder if post-mortgage I can establish either their Visa Gold or Promise card if I have to make another two-step to one of the higher tier cards, too bad no EMV chip though apparently.
From another thread here.

I'm proof positive that the CSP underwriting requirements have been lowered. I'm not sure if I should take any pride in that.
Regardless, I think a general idea of your goals would help the forums make suggestions. Do you want travel rewards? Cash back? Low interest? Or, do you just want to be able to look at the card, then look at yourself in the mirror, and say "yeah, baby!" in a Mike Myers bad British accent (hopefully while wearing pants)?

I don't care too much about just low APRcards. I'm looking for rewards, benefits and end game cards.
I am also interested in this topic. Some goal cards would be nice.
Duncan, I forget what cards you have...
I have really liked US Bank. I would recommend you look into their Cash+ or Flexperks signature cards.
