PenFed Platinum Rewards Signature Card with a $7K CL. This brings me up to the PenFed maximum of $50K. I got my first PenFed card (a Power Cash Rewards) in July of 2017 (one year after my BK discharge). It had (and still has) a 2K limit. I tried for a Gold Card not very long after that (April of 2018) and was able to recon (beg) myself into another $2K limit card. In January of 2019 I went for a CLI on my first card and they gave me a $39K increase- I was stunned and thrilled but I realized it wouldn't be a Signature Card. So I asked and they let me use the limit to open a new Power Cash Rewards Card so I could have the signature version and they allowed it. This fourth and final card was a soft pull preapproval. Penfed has been great to me.
