Since the mysterious removal of the only collection on my TU and my score increasing 80 points, I decided to go for the companies that pull TU.
Discover (Actually pulled EQ which has the most inquires--when I moved, utilities and apt apps tend to pull this one) -Denied
WalMart - Approved (this started the app spree as I accidently cancelled my free TU score), called to try to get higher initial cl and it was a no
Barclay- Approved after RECON for 3,000 CL (Was going to give me $1.5K but I mentioned wanted to use it for the new retina display laptop so he increased it, then a number was mis-keyed so just had to cb to have credit dept fix)
BOA- Went into review (Pulled EX, only 1 collection here due to fall off in 3 months)
Now the only cards I want left (on life list): Chase Freedom, AMEX BCE and US Bank+
Starting Score: 492-TU04, 480-EX FICO V2, 467-EQ Beacon 5 (Via Mortgage PreQual March '12)
