The pre-approvals come out around the 1st of  Jan, April, July and Oct,  If you get them,   it's 1 year or later after you get your CC.

Re: PenFed cardholders

I was told I was preapproved for a car loan when I called in about my cc application status. Offer also shows up on the right side of the homepage, right in between the Transfer Funds & I want to sections.

Re: PenFed cardholders

I am a member of Penfed but there approval criteria is worse than Big Banks. They sure dont have the Credit Union feel of personalized service and less than perfect credit which the credit union was founded to provide. Dont expect many pre approvals.
