Thanks. I opened a PenFed account on 10/30/21, so I should be able to generate BMW code tomorrow (12/29/21, I have been counting days :-)
My concern is if the BMW sales person pointed out that sentence, I will have no way to argue...

(2.) BMW choose to use this same non-military program, but, for various reasons of bureaucracy, add a military benefit: ability to be immediately eligible; ie no 60 day wait. That sentence doesn't apply to you as you can qualify via the other requirements. Military skips to the front of the line.

(3.) Because you're non-military, you're only eligible if you qualify via the other requirements, ie, member for 60 days

Net-net:
Military can get the incentive on day 1 vs you who only becomes eligible on day 61.

I've been getting the incentive for 11 years; trust me, you're good.
