Pen fed how long for card?

Does anyone how long before you get the card? I was approved on the 3/13 and am still kinda in shock with the approval so I will feel much better with card in hand. Then maybe I will truly believe it lol it is already showing online but I need concrete proof😋

I don't remember exactly how long it took, but I do remember thinking that it took a pretty long time to get the card. I wouldn't say it's getting a hotel card from Chase long, but it's somewhere close lol. (If you've never gotten a hotel card from Chase, it takes forever)

Thanks. I just thought maybe it was like AMEX . When I go online it asks me to activate if I didn't do it over the phone yet so I was hoping that was a sign it was sent but that might just be a standard thing.

I would give it a couple of weeks. If the card hasn't arrived within that window then I'd give them a call. Congrats on your approval and enjoy your card when it arrives.

It took about one calendar week for Penfed to deliver my Power Cash Rewards; that being said, I accepted the preapproved offer over the Fourth of July weekend (and was surprised they were able to process things so quickly with a federal holiday intervening).

Sadly mine took exactly 3 weeks xD I was going mad lol. The letter about their dept protection arrived a week earlier than the card xD

This should be the unit of measurement for anything that takes forever.

Nice Job!
Hoping to get mine to about there, I’m not sure how generous PenFed is... but I hear they give massive CLIS. I’d be happy with 10, 15K anything in between. More than that, I’ll be ecstatic! 😎😎🤘

Yes I was utterly in shock with that limit. My highest limit reporting now is 3500, so getting that was unbelievable. I was still in disbelief until I actually got the card and activated it.

I got my PenFed Power Cash rewards Cards about 7 days after I app'd Jan25th this year. I'm in North Central Florida. I didn't report until March 5th after the first statement cut.
