CC Offer from PENFED??

I just looked at USPS Informed Delivery, and apparently I'm getting a CC offer from PENFED today. I have never dealt with them at all, and only knew they existed from reading these forums. Is the mailer a normal thing?

Unless it says pre-approved, it's just a marketing mailer. I got the same thing on Saturday, but I'm a member.

I get a mailer from them every few months. I am not a memeber.

They seem to have ratcheted up their marketing offers recently. Nothing in marketing is guaranteed, but a pre-approval is more favorable, over say you've been selected, pre-qualified, any language of that sort.

I received one as well, I'm not a member however hubby is. I'm a authorized user on his cards, so I'm going to assume that's how they got me, the language is pre-approved and quotes a specific APR on the back, I checked their website and it shows a range of APRS on the main product page. I entered the acceptance page and it shows "no offers found". I'm going to leave it alone 😂

Got my mailer Friday, no affiliation with them ever. Preapproval for the Power Cash Rewards card with an approval code. I took it and got the card with an $8750 limit. Finished my account business with them today and am now a member with Access America checking, a savings account, and the PCR card. Painless and from my call to customer service today, I see their good reputation is so far well-earned.

 

Friend of mine at work got the same thing Saturday. She had to upload documents and is awaiting the ID verification completion.

 

If it says preapproved and has a code to accept the offer, it looks to be solid.

The offer I received states that I'm pre-approved for a Visa Signature card with 17.99% APR, a $100 statement credit if I spend $1500 in the 90 days, and 12 months @ 0% on balance transfers for 12 months. I am going to stay in the garden.

In my case, not being a member, I didn't get my limit until the pull was made. I can't speak to what happens if you're already a member...yet.
