I cant wait for my account to be set up! Talked to a CSR today and they recieved my signed app and are processing as we speak! 
Got my account number today and just signed up for my monthly EX FICO.
Can't wait to discover my true EX FICO. In a way in nervous and hoping that my FICO is higher than the plusscore. On another I'm happy to finally know my true score so I can fix whatever need to be fixed.
The last time I saw my EX FICO was about 4 years ago.
My EX has always been my lowest score so we'll see.
I was just told from a CSR that because im a non-PA resident the parks and recreation membership will not work. Has anyone used the parks and recreation membership
and was not a PA resident?? Im not understanding.

FRom the time I got the hard pull to receiving the welcome email. For me it was 2 days.
So application-2 days later hard pull and 2 days later welcome email
Hmm...I saw the hard pull immediately, $6 withdrawn a day later, and then received the app in the mail 3 days later, mailed it back, and I have yet to receive a welcome email (that was over a week ago that I had my hard pull).
I would call them (the new memeber application dept). I did everything by fax. I did the application online, printed it, faxed with SS card, DL and Park receipt. They call me to confirm my address and 2 days later I got the Welcome email.
Do you live in PA?

a couple tips for those about to join:
1. they do ask for additional documentation/proof of address so i would advise that in order to speed up the process a bit, when you send in your signed application, you should also include a copy of:
- drivers license
- social security card (or W-2)
- Penn Rec & Park Society receipt
- 2 recent utility bills
i had to fax in my drivers license, Penn Rec receipt and utility bills first (after sending in my app and getting an e-mail saying that I needed to contact them and then calling to see what they wanted). after a few days, they asked me to also send in a copy of my social security card (which i lost some time ago so they agreed to take my w-2 instead). i could have been a member 2 weeks earlier (and gotten in on time to get my june score, argh) if i had known to send all this in in the first place!
2. as some people have mentioned, you are given a reference number when you first sign up (it is on your application as well), but this is NOT your account number. i thought i was paying attention (having read haulingthescoreup's initial post first), but do not remember seeing any other number when i applied online (someone please correct me if they do indeed provide the actual account number during the online process). the account number was not even on the welcome e-mail (again, only the reference number was included). i did not get my actual account number until i received the physical welcome package and only then able to create my psecu@home® account (and thus, sign up for the fico score service).
besides these small bumps, the sign-up process was relatively straightforward. the reps on the phone were all very nice and helpful. i would recommend that everyone who wants their experian score join psecu! i can't wait until the july scores come in, woohoo.
are you a resident of PA?

Its a new change as of June 1st (or so).
I'm really effing fuming right now. The woman said it stated it in bold on the application and i must have missed it.

The CSR saud the AAoH is still good, just paid $40 to be a supporter. I guess im SOL for the $2o for the parks.
