Penfed Strategy??

Need some input.  I was approved for the Penfed Promise for $1K on 1/23/18 and despite recon could not get it higher.  EQ 9 was 690.  I did establish contact with a nice LO who thought the initial decision was conservative but didn't want to over rule.  I'd like to make use of that hard pull for a CLI and app for the Power Cash.  I've already put $1200 through this card and my balance is $100.  My statement will cut about 3/12.  Should I ask fro the CLI first and then app for the second cc?  Utilization on my 4 cards is 3%.

Re: Penfed Strategy??

this soon, they may use the same pull unless you ask for a fresh one.

Unless there have been significant changes to your report, I wouldn't think you're results would be tons different

I want the CLI and new cc within 90 days to use the same hard pull.. Question is will an increase on the Promise likely to lead to a matching SL on the 2 nd card?

If they’re using the same HP, their opinion of you is likely unchanged. 30 days isn’t much to build trust on. I doubt you’ll get the CLI, or the new card. I’d say revisit in 6 months.
