Re: 61st Day AMEX CLI - Soft pull question

wow.. this was a great question... Ive noticed that all of the lenders are starting to base clis off of sps.  They used to not do that :-(

 

Meh, guess I better make sure all of my balances are properly reporting for Amex soft pulling me LOL if I want that 3xcli.

 

How are you able to see that they are softing you, and what report(s) do they typically do the sps??

 

lol

Amex always softs Experian for me.  My understanding is that it's their favorite CRA.  Some credit monitoring services will show soft inquiries.  I only see mine right now because I still have access to the results of a recent dispute.

Re: 61st Day AMEX CLI - Soft pull question

are you checking all three? amex always hard pulls exp for me, has softed exp once in 7 most, but softs tu every month on the 28th. so they don't just pull from one. I am pretty sure they used tu to approve me for my Hilton surpass and for my cli, even if after approval they pulled exp.

Re: 61st Day AMEX CLI - Soft pull question

Hmmm welll Amex based my approval on TU, so perhaps that is indicative of their future soft pulling habits. I was just recently denied a cli on a GECRB account. That means I can get a copy of my TU report for free (within 60 days) LOL. I love the CARD Act for that!! Haha
