One other mention. My listed income was net not gross.

 

I'm self employed llc without payroll (business income is my income) and I figured if a POI came, it would be much easier to argue in that regard than the opposed. (Schedule C vs. 1099).

I have been researching PenFed quite a bit, and it seems like they don't ask for POI.
I'm in the same boat as you are. I am considering hiring a payroll service to have the paystubs for CU's like AOD that seem to be a requirement for their UW for approvals. I could be wrong here, but PenFed doesn't seem to request POI that often. Maybe others can chime in about their experience with being self-employed and apping PenFed. I think this will be valuable to all the members that are self employed.

Penfed wont request POI if they are satisfied with what they see upon application but i would always be ready to provide it if asked especially credit Unions.

They asked me for POI. When I got an instant approval for the Gold Visa and then turned right around and applied for the Platinum Rewards, that one went to review, and they asked for copies of my last two pay stubs.
