Do you need the CSP? Travel a lot?
I will be this next couple of years but debating if i really wanna have another AF card. I have the BCP and Marriott so i was thinking that should be enough to earn travel points.
I was also looking at the US Bank Flex cards but i read that they are very INQ sensitive and dont like baddies on reports (though i did say the same about Chase).

I said it in the previous thread about this and I'll say it again. If its convenient for you (and not expensive). Keep all your reports locked all the time, do a little research and only unlock the one you think they will pull to minimize your HP's across all your reports. If you end up having to recon and they said they want to see another report, by all means unlock the other one as well, but don't make it easy for them to ding your credit profile automatically.
Let the debate begin. haha
Lol....I am not usually on this board.....I'm mainly still on the rebuilding board.......newbie question...How do you know which CCC will pull which report in order to unlock the correct CRB?
Not sure I agree with the strategy (seems pointless waste of time and effort to me, inquiries aren't a big deal in the FICO model), but if you google for "credit pulls database" there's a most excellent online resource by lender. Attempting to force a lender to use a specific bureau isn't ethical, and this middle ground is a little suspect too as a result.
But, but, that goes to, you know, *that* board! Call a mod. Seriously, that is probably the best resource.

Pretty certain it was a tongue-in-cheek comment regarding my moderator tag .
Per forum TOS: we prohibit direct links to *that* board as referenced in lurker's post, but we do allow posting specific terms to be searched upon that have the likelihood of resolving to a resource found on that forum.
Speaking as joe user: reading the TOS I can see how this policy was created though I would agree with someone suggesting that we're splitting hairs on this. I'm not one to throw out the baby with the bathwater though, and that one resource is truly excellent in my opinion.

Okay...I thought maybe I had done or said something wrong being a lurker...kinda...sorta...lol
I have 11 in the last year now (5 from auto banks) but 6 in the last 5 months, 1 BofA, 3 AMEX,1 Chase, 1 Citi. This is on EX which im pretty certain they are going to pull. My AAoA is 3 years, 10 months. I do have a business checking account with them so dont know if that will help my chances. Dont know if US Bank those double pulls if you are borderline but i have less INQ on my other 2 bureaus.
Thanks for all the feedback on my question.
I actually called Chase today and spoke to the INK rep. He told me that they only pull one under normal circumstances and didn't expect me to get double pulled.
So either he's out of the loop and not reliable or there's something else to these double pulls that is out of the ordinary. I do see that some of the people getting double pulled according to this thread have good scores. So, I am not really sure what to make of it all.
Yes, hard to know, even those of us with good scores might have something on the first pull that needs another look.
I just looked at all the inqs on my credit reports. The oldest, June 2011, was a single pull by Chase. Then apart from mortgages, and as far as I can see an unauthorized triple pull by Citi Mortgage (they bought our mortgage, I didn't request credit), single pulls from Amex, Barclays, FIA, Penfed, then, starting Dec 2012, double pulls from Citi (3 times for three cards) and a double pull from Chase. Finally two single pulls, each for a CLI from FIA and Citi.
Since people are still getting single pulled, I have to assume it's something in our records that they need to check.
Double Pull last Friday for me. Experian and Equifax. in VA
