Re: Secretly competing against Enharu

lol bad place to post about it.

It was for an auto loan. I requested that they apply only with BMW financial first and avoid doing a shotgun app, since I was confident I'll be approved by BMW. They said ok, but for some reason the finance people went ahead and did multiple simultaneous apps with different lenders. I haven't received any emails about the inquiries alert, but since they were able to tell me about different rates that each bank is offering me, I know they did a shotgun app. 

 

I was pretty pissed, since I was able to qualify for 2.99% with BMW, which means there was no need for them to process apps with other banks.

Oh well. Good discount on the car though. No idea why I went with the auto loan as well since I'm probably going to pay it off in a few months. 

 

On the plus side I'm really not going to apply for anything for a good amount of time! Smiley Wink

My head hurts from shaking it so hard.

yea I know I was pretty pissed and depressed too until I got into the car.

Got it for slightly below truecar price though, so good deal I suppose. Just bad for my CR.....

 

But yea definitely no more apps for a good amount of time. The more I think about what they did the more depressing it gets

The Amex plat is a charge card with no preset limit. I don't know my internal limit either. Haven't tried the button to test how much I can charge on the card, and I've only spent a little over 3k on that card so far, just enough to meet the sign-up bonus.

 

The BCP CL is at 42k. The global transfer program based it upon my PPS Plat card and my singapore tax docs that they have on file.

Nah, 3x CLI on your $30K blue, no problem!   I'm going to have to get enharu to get the TD Cash card.   He has a Citi 5x TYP and is wasting money buying BMWs instead of Vanilla Reloads!  Some people....
