Does girlfriend/boyfriend count to get you in? For example, you don't serve but your girlfriend did. Is that good enough?

If she is your "roommate" then yes. Also you are eligible for membership if you work there sooo if people really want membership they are hiring lol

I joined NFCU by going in the “back door” of the Navy League of San Diego I learned about on this fantastic forum. I joined last spring, let the account sit with just a few dollars, then app’d for the CashRewards card a few months later. $24k CL out the gate! My scores were mid 600s, far from a clean file, but I didn’t have any recent lates so maybe that helped.

 The "back door" through the Navy League has been closed and deadbolted.    You now can only get in with military service... either yourself, of somebody in your direct line (Parents, grandparents, children).

 If you can get in, they are fantastic to work with.

My father was Air Force but is deceased. Will i still be able to get in?

Does the service member have to be a member of NFCU? i tried to join USAA and the service member had to be an existing account holder, and my parents dont want anything to do with that. I have heard NFCU is pretty good for refinancing auto loans and i need to do so badly (18 percent interest thru GM Financial)

IMO I wouldn't even waste the time on penfed, they sucked for everything in my case.

I joined two months ago using my Grandfathers service in WWII.  He died in the 1960's.  I was never asked for any information other than name and branch of service. But I told them on the phone I had his Serial # and enlistment paperwork.
