PenFed Pathfinder Rewards Approval -

So here is the back story of PenFed and me.  Been a member for a long time and never used any of the services. Applied for there cards at least 3 times in the last few years - All declined.  Fast forward to today - $10,000 Sl @ 16.99% - Guess they had a change of heart.
