IMO, its worthless to fight it. Your going to have a relationship with a bank that pretty much knows you started a whole bunch of problems to get in. They want PA residents, and that's that unfortunately.

Sad, but true.

I know. Its the principle of the thing now. 
I would agree with LS. It's unfortunate but true.
Sorry

What principle? This whole thing started out of a discussion as to whether someone had found a loophole to get in. It's hard to say that it's clear cut that you should be able to get in this way when everyone was skeptical from the beginning. Did anyone call PSECU and ask whether they'd be able to get in before spending the $75 for the application fee? It would be one thing if a rep said yes, and you went and signed up for the organization that would give you eligibility and then were also out the $75 for the application. But to know that membership has generally been closed to out of state residents and then to comb through their website to see if you can find a loophole, not ask them about it before submitting an app, and then get indignant about being denied, what principle is at play? This seems like a big waste of time to me.

Yes, on 9/26 around roughly 6:00 pm central time I called PSECU and spoke with Emilie, a lovely PSECU CSR. I told her exactly what I was doing and why and she put me on hold and confirmed with manager that me being out of state wasnt an issue. I did this prior to spending the $75 on 6/27 around roughly 10:00 am central time.

Posters had contacted PSECU CSR's and all the CSR's said if you are a member, you qualify for membership.
Now that they are in the "next level up" of CSR's after submitting the application, they are denying the app. The issue stands, that no where to be found on PSECU's website does it state you need to be a PA resident other than when joining through PRPS. There is not enough transparency on PSECU's between who is eligible and who is not.
