So I've been trying to get a PenFed card for about 3 years when the promise card was all the hype . Since then my credit has changed drastically for the better so Saturday just playing around w the loan check your rate I was approved for 30k and I accepted . They pulled Experian ( which I was told by the loan department this who they Now pull from for Pl and Al) Then I applied for a cc I chose the cash back power rewards and was approved for 12.5k not instantly approved but next day approved. I tried for others on the same pull but was denied and honestly I'm happy I was cause 1 is enough.
update my card has been upgraded to 2% for opening checking
@Ilinferno thanks I've worked my ass off I learned a lot from this forum that helped me rebuild my own credit and help others!
Wow! I recently got in with PenFed myself (measly 2.5k but I'll take it!) Congrats on the BIG win and keep making those strides! 
Congrats on getting in with PenFed and on those great approvals! I just got in with them myself and am completely happy with them so far.
