OP. would you mind share their email address for recon? You could PM me please? Thank you.
I checked their site to see which score they used for the recon and they flashed me a soft pull 698 FICO 9 from September 9th. I do see an EQ HP from them on October 6th, though. During the recon conversation they mentioned I was approved for $500, but for more they would have to HP me. Aftert he HP they said "the report look the same" and offered me $500 again. It seems their credit pulling process is pretty broken because I know I had a 731 FICO 9 at the time. Hopefully when my credit score catches up to them in 3 months it will make a good case for a CLI.

It also nicely complements the blue-grey aesthetic you have going in your signature.
