No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
The thing that irritates me is that they won't even bother with removing incorrect inquiries. They want you to contact the company directly, and that usually does nothing.

Then how come the scores from each bureau can be so dramatically different? My reports on all bureaus are the same, yet my scores are really different.
Each CRA holds information differently they are not mirror images of each other so the Fico algorithm has to be adapted to each CRAs format and this is the reason that Fico scores are rarely the same across all of the CRAs.

Is that for each card in your portfolio or do you just have to have a balance on at least one?
