I heard from a coworker today that NFCU is letting anyone (as in non military) in now, is this correct?
I don't think so...

I wish. That's why I made this thread bc I looked at the eligibility requirements and it's not like Penfed where you can make a donation.
NFCU is mentioned a lot here because of its popularity with rebuilders ~ they usually give very nice CLs and approvals even to people with low scores.

No I know why it's mentioned. I'm just surprised that so many people are eligible for membership. I for one would love an NFCU card.

I'm sure you can google a recruiter in your area
