Hi everyone,
Since they pull all 3 bureaus for their credit cards, if 1 bureau is frozen, will they automatically deny the application or just pull the 2 that is open?
Some have gotten in with 2

Thank you for your quick reply.
Its rare for those that have been successful so my question is why risk a denial trying to beat the system?

With all due respect MJ, please dont assume that is why I am asking the question. Not everyone is out to beat the system. I simply wanted to know for my own knowledge. Please dont assume something unless someone explicity implies that. I thought thats what these boards are for which is to ask questions and help those better their credit.
i think you will be ok

Maybe beat was the wrong term .....sorry didn't mean any harm and maybe I should have been more specific in my question... My bad
However if you know a lender pulls 3 times for approval my question still stands why waste 2 HP's on a chance of denial?
That was the only assumption/point I was making.
If it was a (1) HP lender then that's a different story and luck of the draw but (2) HP's IMHO is not worth considering it....
I'm a firm believer of having every aspect/base covered to optimize my chances of approval and using HP's for maximum opportunities but that's just me.
Case in point the only reasons I haven't jumped on the Venture bandwagon is (1) the card doesn't fit my profile currently and I have nice limits so don't need that and (2) based on their 3 HP rule I can use those 3 HP's for 3 different cards with 3 different bonuses.
Others may feel differently tho and in the end the HP's are yours and I would sincerely hate to see you waste any because the 2nd HP could have been another card you may like or benefit from....
I also concur this forum is all about us helping each other by asking question and getting answers and we fully encourage that from everyone but when you ask questions also expect all answers and points of views too .
That being said if it were me and this is just my opinion I wouldn't risk 2 HP's on a lender that expects to pull 3 hoping for an approval
Good luck should you app I'll be pulling for you

When I got approved for CAP 1 secured card, they only pulled equifax & transunion. 1 month ago.
Someone just posted that they had 2 frozen and Cap One only pulled the one that was not frozen.
