It's probably a HP for any credit product or CLI with PenFed. I'm not sure what is the max on the PLOC, 10K perhaps? I believe you can have more than one PLOC if you have additional accounts.


The max CL for PenFed's PLOC is $25K.  And, correct it's HP for a CLI.  The Thrifty Credit Service (or Overdraft Line of Credit) is a separate product, not a PLOC. 


There is 1 exception to the HP CLI rule - if a current cardholder gets a SP-driven preapproved offer for an additional card they can select (a|the) current card and accept the offer.  The value of the SL will instead be applied as a CLI to the selected existing card without a HP.

High limits often go hand-in-hand with the relation you have with the lender - If you have such with Chase for example - CSR is a great path for such a request

True.  And sometimes, ironically, the relationship matters not in the least. 

I had hoped for relationship mattering with the aforementioned Goldman Sachs Apple card since I already had large six-figure deposits in their money market account.  It helped me absolutely none in my SL or CLI request. 

Strange but recently that account now has a fraction of the previous deposits!   I wonder why ... Smiley Tongue

That must be a rather recent change. Last 2 years or so. I have a 2017 PenFed account where it was my first credit account with them and they issued it at $14,000.

Thank you for the clarification on the PLOC CL max.

 

I recalled reading someone's post on the PLOC, 2nd PLOC might have been a joint account? I'll have to research...

IIRC it was for 2019. Recent data points in the approvals forum appears that PenFed is offering more than $10K SL.

^ ^ This is true.  I opened new accounts with PenFed in November and applied for the Power Cash Rewards card at the same time, so no prior relationship.  They approved me with a $15K limit.  I wonder if I wouldn't have gone higher if I had either established banking for awhile first or else if I had not added numerous other cards prior to the Power Cash in 2019.  (I saw SLs with PenFed as high as $25K last year.)
