PSECU Credit Card

Looking for some opinions on PSECU, I recently got a new car loan through them and wanted to maximize the hard inquiry. I was considering to maximize the hard pull by applying for one of there credit cards, being it was within the 30 days.

Anyone have any suggestions with there credit cards or acceptance.

looks like the 2% card requires a $500 monthly DD otherwise it's a 1.5% card

Re: PSECU Credit Card

If you are already a PSECU savings/checking account holder and have direct deposit with them, the PSECU Founder's Visa is a very solid general rewards card (2% flat rate cash rewards, no annual fee, no foreign transaction fee).  At least once in the last two years they also offered a sign-up bonus ($300 SUB back in November/December 2021, which is when I got the card).

Playing the credit card rewards game since early May 2020.

Current credit cards:
American Express: Hilton Honors
Bank of America: Customized Cash Rewards Visa
Capital One: SavorOne MC
Chase: Amazon Visa, Freedom Unlimited Visa, Freedom Flex MC
Citi: Sears/ThankYou Rewards MC, My Best Buy Visa, Custom Cash MC
Comenity: AAA Travel Advantage Visa
Discover: Cash It
Elan: S&T Bank Max Cash Preferred Visa
FNBO: Amtrak Guest Rewards MC
PSECU: Founder's Visa
U.S. Bank: Cash+ Visa
Wells Fargo: Autograph Visa
Store cards: Kohl's

Next target credit cards: Wells Fargo Bilt Mastercard (probably), Truist Enjoy Travel Visa (maybe)
