Any Successful Costco Recons yet?

The letter finally came for my husband's Citi Costco denial - too many inquiries.  Is a recon possible?  If so, should I call the number on the letter for the Costco specific card or one of the EO numbers in the backdoor numbers thread?

EO would be person you would reach out to ..  With regards to any successful recons I believe I heard of at least one where person had 5 inquiries with high 700 scores

Might as well try! What do you have to lose at this point?

My husband called the number on the letter, which was specifically for the Costco card.  The rep was very kind and helpful and said she thinks he should call back in 1 month when several inquiries will be over 6 months old.  She said they may be able to use the same app and hard pull and approve him then.  So he will try again then and if it doesn't work contact the EO at that time.  He does have a lot of inquiries, so this is no surprise.

Well at least he knows where he stands. The only thing to be aware of is that calling back after a month can likely cause another HP. Just something to consider.

I highly doubt they will use the same hard pull a month later.

The number on that letter is worthless, call 1-605-331-1698, its the executive team, they have way more pull as far as getting a second review on the application, the number you called in regards to the letter is about as effective as a Jeep on snow with no tread left on its tires! lol Best of luck!!

i tried to recon my costco visa denial and call the eo office and the lady said she would send my app to be manually reviewed but no luck with her. i thought the EO office had the power to overturn the decision but i guess they dont. Said i would hear from them no later than next thursday.

Re: Any Successful Costco Recons yet?

Thats odd? The person I spoke with was able to over turn the decision right away? Either way, I hope your review goes through quickly! Maybe they have limited authority when it comes to certain criteria?
