No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Not sure. One thing to add (not sure if it matters) is that I do have automatic transfers set up into the share savings account we all have to open to become members. I have $25.00 a week going automatically and then I manually send 50 every paycheck. Have about $2800.00 there now.
I haven't seen this much enthusiasm in a thread since Starbucks card came out 😐

And probably as many takers

Anyway, they gave me another 7300 to take my limit from $25,700 to an even $33,000. It's my highest limit now.
Interesting as data points of people saying maximum limits for PenFed cards are now 25k vs. higher limits up to 50k.. Granted I have a 27k one that hasn't been drawn down yet, probably grandfathered.. Yet with your approval of a SP CLI it appears that 25k max rule is probably a profile specific thing for some? Bit lost here with this new DP on what to think
Mine are still $29,500 and $19,500 so no change for me.
My FICO score hasn't updated. Still showing score from May 7th. I did however get the offer yesterday for any of their credit cards with a $7,000 SL or a CLI on my present card in the same amount. I took the CLI. My PowerCash was at $30,400. With the $7,000 CLI I am now at $37,400. Card tuned 1 year in May. Last October they gave me a CLI of $22,000. PenFed has been very generous to me.

Your score has updated. PenFed pulled your FICO 9 score from Equifax on 5/7/19 and posted them to your account on 6/1/19.

I was seeing the 5/7/19 score prior to 6/1. Not sure how much prior but I think it was a few days after 5/7. I could be mistaken though. I didn't specifically make a note of it.

You're likely mistaken. If you scroll back to the start of this thread you'd see that the score posted on 5/1/19 was pulled on 4/9/19. The scores posted on 6/1/19 were pulled on 5/7/19. Scores are updated at the same time for all accounts with credit products.
+1 PenFed scores for the 3+ years that I've been with them have always been delayed about a month. At least they give them every month now.
