Have you tried for PenFed's 3.99% loan?
I'm actually waiting to try them until mid week when I'm paid down. I can hit 15k a month on the card because I run a load of business through it to get the points, but I always pay it down every month. I just made the mistake of having them check my credit mid month. Won't make that mistake again!
