Re: Thanks PenFed for the extra $10K!

Congrats on the CLI @Aim_High! I'm a big fan of PenFed. I'm shocked about the Amex denial - was that too many new Amex cards or in general? They've never really been the new account/inquiry sensitive type, but $10,000 does always help smooth things over Smiley LOL

@Aim_High  Super Congrats on your PenFed PCR $10,000 CLI!!! Smiley Very Happy

 

I've had no luck with PenFed, but I'm glad you are. They are definitely 

a hit or miss proposition, so I"m glad you're hittin' it outta the park.

Congrats again and thanks for sharing! Smiley Very Happy

Congrats on the CLI.. Looks like you bumped up on the "offical" ceiling for a given card it appears.  Not sure what their current policy is, think it is 25k unless grandfathered in?  Enjoy the new CL!

I have had AMEX before but none currently.  It was all about my new account spree I've had in the past two years.  It was a lot, but I didn't think it would lead to a denial with AMEX!!  Here is the link with more info:

@Aim_High I've never known them to be sensitive and your 7/12 doesn't seem like something they've pushed back on before, but I could be wrong. I've gotten cards with them when I was up to 12/12, of course we weren't in a global pandemic and they weren't being hypersensitive. Sorry to hear it, but glad you got the $10k!

I hadn't heard that rumor -- have a link or more info? 

Congrats! on your 10k CLI - that is sweet! Smiley Happy


Thanks @Anonymous!

Here are two recent threads where members chimed in about Soft Pulls with PenFed.

And AFAIK, still no HP notification about a pull from my CLI!  Smiley Happy

ETA:  This was a HARD PULL CLI on Equifax.
