What Credit Cards pull Transunion?

When I looked into the partner cards, the fine print regarding APR's, etc. states the the offers are only good for such and such time and that "and requires that you maintain your current level of credit performance and that timely payments are received." This is probably the reasons for the soft pulls. To get people who use a sudden jump in score to apply that is not a true reflection of their score.

What was your TU score at the time?  And does anyone know if there is a difference in the score requirements for each partner card?  I recently applied for the Carnival card.  Got an instant approval, but only $500 limit.  My TU score is 624.

Don't know.

On May 10, my TU FICO was 634 and my TU FAKO (on TC) was 625.

On June 19 when Barclay inquired, my TU FAKO (on TC) was 661.

All things being equal, and they ain't, my TU FICO was probably 650+.

Just applied for a Barclay's card - they pulled EQ, not TU

Does Barclays utilize any other CRA besides Transunion?

Hey, everyone, I'd like to point out that this is an ancient thread (2007) that was brought back to life by a new member. Nothing wrong with that, but there's a lot of obsolete info here.

In fact, this thing is so old that it was started before we even had the Credit Cards forum! I couldn't figure out what it was doing on Understanding...

Anyway, I wouldn't lean on much that's in here, other than AFAIK, Barclays is still a TU-puller.

Check over on Credit Cards for much more current discussing about who pulls what.

It's been quite a few years since I applied but the following companies regularly soft my TU history:

Discover

Citi

Wells Fargo

And before their collapse, Washington Mutual softed my TU history.

Amex, AT&T, and Chase soft my Experian history.

Capital One, Chase, Citi, and Wells Fargo soft my Equifax history.

I dunno why some companies soft more than one CRA and others just one of them.

That sure is a long list! Where do they start on scores in TU for approval?
