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😋

Re: Pen fed how long for card?

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.
