Penfed pulled TU???? They are 99.99999% EQ puller.
What does your application status say? Have you created log in credentials yet? You have 90 days to apply for other products from the date of the hard pull. A lot of people try the Cash Rewards card, it gives 5% back at gas stations if you have the Share Savings. I just added the Promise card that has $0 BT fee and a low APR.
They did once for me by request when they couldn't EQ.

Well this is interesting indeed since in reading various threads it always seemed to poing to EQ. Of course, I'm sure when I try for this later in the year thay might pull EQ, which would be ok.

Important Note: only join PenFed with clean reports, otherwise you could end up in their 'dirty pool' where it may take years to (or may never) receive pre-approvals.
If already applied with reports blemished, may as well app since they typically (but not always) re-use the pull up to 90 days.
What is typically defined as "clean" in their eyes though? I have no negative items at all in my CRs. Baller4life has mentioned the "dirty" piece as well, but is a clean profile one that would have scores close to ~800, low inquiries and no new accounts > 6 months or > 12 mos?
Missed this, yes as baller posted: no baddies, not necessarily: ~800, low inquiries and no new accounts > 6 months or > 12 mos, though as you know it could only help.
A penchant to app (allbeit judiciously) is the only factor which may bring them some pause with your app I imagine. To some extent, outcome may depend on how long you break from apps, prior to PenFed. They'll ultimately react favorably to thick file and impressive overall credentials once they get to know you- so get in and start to develop a relationship as soon as you're ready.
