I applied online for a credit card with Pentagon Federal Credit Union. I was told in order to " apply '' for this credit card I would have to deposit money into a new account otherwise I would NOT be allowed to apply. 
In the application I was prompted to deposit an amount into a new account to process my application. 
Afterward the application was completed I hit the process button and was '' denied '' a credit card from Pentagon Federal. BUT they never offered to return the money I deposited for the purpose of applying for a credit card. 

Now I have a account I did not want to begin with, and feel this is a VERY DECEPTIVE business practice just to apply for a credit card and then be denied. 
Pentagon Federal should NOT require opening any account unless they " approve '' a credit card application. They should also be forced to refund ALL monies taken by this deceptive practice of denying credit card application in order to solict money to open unwanted accounts.
