Re: Pentagon Federal Credit Union Data Share

Recon denied. Email said the maximum limit was approved at time of application. $3500? Ok, I'll wait for the "quarterly offer" to show up? Where do I look?

When you log in on the desktop, lower right hand corner you'll see "My Offers" and there'll be left and right arrows.  You can scroll through them.  I think they're on the mobile app as well.

New member here (as of today).

If their EQ monitoring service provides a FICO 9, is it safe to say that's the model they use for CC apps? My FICO8 is at a humble 651, but my FICO9 is at a 709 for some reason. I'd feel alot more confident applying if they used FICO9.

 

Util is at AZEO, but 2 CCs are only 2 months old...think that's a credit-seeking deal breaker?

Yes they use FICO 9 for the CC apps too.

It could be, they've been more lenient with approvals this year compared to before, but hard to say what flips the deny switch.

If you want to improve your chances. At least wait minimum 6 months between applications. Perhaps, address your credit profile to improve your scores during that waiting period.

Re: Pentagon Federal Credit Union Data Share

Ok, so new member here with a savings account. Few questions, do I need to have a checking account in order to apply for a credit card???

 

Also, is the checking account a hard pull, and if so, will that pull be used for 90 days towards any other credit apps?

Re: Pentagon Federal Credit Union Data Share

@Dmessina666 No, You don't need a checking account to apply for a credit card. Others will chime in soon. 

I joined and opened a savings account - 1st HP....I applied for the PCR - 2nd HP

 

I called time see if I could use the 2nd HP for another product and was told no. YMMV.

 

Welcome to PenFed!  Good luck on your app.

Re: Pentagon Federal Credit Union Data Share

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. No HP for the savings account. I'm waiting to apply anyways, at least 6-12 months. 

I figured this will be a good time to get my foot in, and have a percentage of my salary head over to the savings.
