PENFED membership approved!

After lots of thoughts, and research, I decided to give it a go.

 

Failed the 1st security set of questions because I couldnt remember my ex-hubby's month he was born. I tended to block him out of my mind and I havent talked to him in over 10 years. The second set of questions I did with a guy over the phone, and Ill be damn if they didnt ask me questions about my Ex's DAD! FML! ugh...anyway...passed! LOL..

 

So, Im in like sin. I will wait 2 yrs, and app for their CC, knowing how conservative they are, I wouldnt stand a chance in hell to be approved right now with my EQ profile, LOL.. Smiley Wink

 

edited..decided to just go ahead and app for their CC too since its all on one pull. I dont expect an approval, obviously with my credit profile,  and Ill try to recon for a $500 sl if declined. 

 

UPDATE>>>>7/27/15

CC declined for Pyrimiding debt..aka..too many new accts and inquires.. LOL..I knew it would come back like that, so im not surprised in the least bit. I will still try a recon for $500 sl, and if declined again, no big deal..Ill wait 2 years, and reapplySmiley Wink

Congrats on membership approval. What will you be using PENFED for? Primary/secondary banking/cc?

 

I like my CU a lot so I'm in no hurry, plus I'm in the garden but always thinking what would be the next step once out of the garden again.

I got my Penfed Cash Rewards Platinum when I joined two years ago. You might get credit card pre-approval after a year.
