There is another two-star credit union out there that was once the darling of card app'ers: JFCU!
Look at what a mess that turned into.

I must admit you make an excelent point with the CU rating - I will look at this myself. I have been with this CU since 1995 and they have slowly expanded. BofA is probably one of the weakest banks in this economy, however I still bank with them. Chase credit cards are as unstable and experience PMS as Amex but I still utilize both. Point is if it works for the credit and improve FICO - I say give it a shot.
Post merger it is now a four-star CU just like PenFed and NFCU. The only credit product I have from them is an auto loan.
I would not app a CC from a two-star CU and expect stability and consistency. What JFCU did to many people was just crazy.
