Today I received an email from PenFed (Pentagon Federal Credit Union) touting new lower mortgage rates:
"Limited-Time Offer -- PenFed Lowers Mortgage Rates AGAIN!"
The 5/5 adjustable rate mortgage is now just 2.75%, with no origination fees and PenFed paying closing costs up to $10K. (There's also the 5 year HEL with a 1.99% rate; the HEL rate is not new.)

The 30-year fixed rate mortgage is now just 3.375%, with no origination fees (per fine print on the application page).

PenFed used to charge a 1% origination fee on all fixed rate mortgages, but right now the 30-year fixed rate mortgage seems to be exempt!
There are many ways to join PenFed; for example, you can make a donation to the National Military Family Association. The PenFed website has further details:

All my documentation seems to point to this.
The rate lock request says "We have received your request to lock in your mortgage rate at 3.375% with .250 buy down (points)."
The GFE/"Your charge for this interest rate" paperwork seem to agree.
However, the mortgage processor is claiming I have _zero_ buy down points, and the .25 points I'm seeing that are listed as buydown points are actually Fannie Mae LLPA adjustments. She says EVERY 80+% LTV fixed loan they give out comes with LLPA of at least .25 points.
So I have to ask the community -- has anyone gotten a recent 30 year mortgage from Penfed at 80+% LTV and not paid any charge for the interest rate they received? ( "0" in "your charge for this interest rate" in section 2, page 2 of the GFE? )
NotReal, what were the final numbers of your Homeowners Estimate of Value, Value from Full Interior Appraisal, Value from Exterior Only Drive-By Appraisal and the loan amount?
Please PM me if you don't want to post.

Same here . I applies in August and still not closed. No responses to emails or voicemails. By any chance, the person you are dealing with has a first name that starts with G and last name with B?.
If you have not had your appraisal yet you would only be out about $65. If you can find a lender that has a better rate (lower payment) than what you have with PenFed - it is a not brainer
I walked away from PenFed, found a better deal with First Financial Services and closed within 29 days from start to finish. In my case I saved over $1,000 in closing costs and shaved $40 off the monthly payment compared to what I had with PenFed
I referred to 3 of my friends, one closed last week, and another closing next week.
If you have clean record go with AmeriSave.
