You can't request a CLI until after the 1 yr mark and then it will be a HP

i would personally wait till all of your accounts are at least 6 months old. and when you have a minimal amount of inquries effecting your score.

i just meant for the op. not for the general. 

in many posts he has stated many new inq due to apping and getting other cli, and being denied by some banks. 

so if his last new account was today, and his penfed was october id still wait until after august

 

he would still have to wait until october. as pointed out, but he would be in a much better position (hopefully)

I understand that........ What i am saying is, PenFed will not even talk about a CLI until you have been with them 1 year....
