Re: Pentagon Federal Credit Union Data Share

Hmm, I had something strange from Penfed, a personalized snail mailer encouraging me to app for the Penfed Gold Visa. I reads: "Dear (My Real Name) as a valued Penfed member we have a special offer just for you. The Penfed Gold Visa has our lowest rate APR....." It touts and standard bennies on the card - $100 SUB for $1500 spend, 0% for 12 months, etc. No pre-qual code, so probably just marketing, but the first time I ever got a mailer from Penfed encouraging me to app for a specific product. I've been a member since May 2017 and have never got a quarterly pre-qual offer.

I'm inclined to pass. They approved me for a PCR when I joined but only with a low $1200 CL. When I was approved for the PayPal 2% Cashback card with $7k SL (now $10k auto clis) I closed PCR and Access checking and just kept Share savings, but I do have a nice HELOC with them.

Like this one? I was checking to see if was just pure marketing or not. I haven't tried for a card since my denial last year, I think in March. 

Hmmmm .... really?Hmmmm .... really?

Re: Pentagon Federal Credit Union Data Share

I originally posted this as a separate thread, not having seen this one.
 
PenFed PowerITA offer letter

I'm mid ch7 bk, discharge in 16days and counting. But I was sent a CC offer from PenFed and I wasn't sure if it was a pre-qualified type letter, or if it was just a form promo letter they send to all members. I really want to apply by the deadline, March 31, which will be post discharge, but I didn't want to waste my time or a hard pull if it wasn't going to be worth it. My current credit scores are

EQ654FICO9TU587FICO9EX596
EQ659AUTOTU582AUTOEX574

. We'll see what improves, if anything, once discharge happens.

Score seems less important versus DTI ratio.

Re: Pentagon Federal Credit Union Data Share

Also Kugel, PF seems to like someone with not alot of credit so might take a chance. Its only a hp. Never know, they might surpass all expectations.
