I don't have any of those cards, but I hear they are all really good. Why not try for all of the back to back?

If you are looking to open 1 out of the 3, NFCU trumps Penfed and USAA in my opinion.  Go with NFCU and open the account.  It will grow ith you.

Is there any way to join NFCU if you're not military?

If you have an immediate family who has served in the U.S Armed Force, you may be eligible to join.

Quick point: They have to be either currently serving, or retired drawing a military pension.

I was in the Marine Corps reserves from 81-87. I wouldn't be eligible since I am not drawing a military pension? Seems unfair, especially since the Navy signed my paychecks.

shoot for the penfed cards, try the Promise card if you want no fees or platinum rewards. If approved they will start you off with a juicy SL
