The card was approved in November with SL of $15K.  I put in for CLI at exactly six months later.  It went under review for 24 hours and I was approved for a $10K increase to new limit of $25K!  Sweet!  That was my goal for that card.  I've heard that is normally the maximum per card PenFed will now authorize for new cardholders. 

 

* * UPDATE * * 

Edit to Add:  I reported in-thread this might be a SOFT PULL CLI as some have reported more SPs lately with PenFed.  I checked my EQ report this morning and it was a HARD PULL as is typical for PenFed.   Still, a nice CLI for a Hard Pull, so I'm satisfied!

Congrats on the approval despite the HP. I wish more lenders would only do a SP. Wonder why the difference exists?

@AllZero, Bad influence...just bad!


Got me thinking.Smiley Very Happy.  I am at 6 months mark with the first card that I opened 11/12/2019 CL of $15,000, but the second card I got on 1/17/2020 CL of $10,000 after submitting POI. Should I request a CLI for the first card or wait for the second to reach 6 months also and put a request for both. If my logic is right I should give it more time. Why? that's a good question to ask Mr logic, so please allow me to tell you why. First of all, my second card got lower CL, so I may be on the edge with Penfed at the moment. second, if I wait till 7/17/20 I can hit two birds with one HP. Friends what do you think?
