I got to thinking about this and my gut tells me its your home address (residency) that matters but when you app for a cc while you are in another state, does that change which CSR the CC company uses? Or is it determined by your listed address in the app?
For example, for arguments sake, CC company pulls EX for those in TX while in LA the same results in EQ. If I live in LA and I'm in TX for business and apply for an app would it use EX or EQ?
Think I misread the post earlier 
.
Home residence always, old AOL proxy servers would be the most notorious example of why it wouldn't be done otherwise. Also it would defeat the purpose of the regional lines and resolution the different bureaus had otherwise.
Starting Score: EQ 561, TU 567, EX 599* (12/30/11, EX lender pull 12/29/11)Current Score: EQ 660, Wally TU 697, EX unknown (05/13/13)
Goal Score: 680 in all three (01/01/14)

For student types, would you say permanent home address or school residence address? (Assuming student is at school most of the year and plans to stay for at least a couple years.)
Personally I'd put my school address. I think the bank wants to know where to mail the card and paperwork to anyway.
For a student though, arguably it doesn't matter as much as most tradelines and even negative information is reported to all three bureaus and you're in your credit infancy anyway. It's old geezers like me where the regional locality makes more statistical importance.

I woud agree. Although it might play a bigger role in the case of, say, a grad student who already has multiple credit cards/recent inquiries.
Im just calculating possibilities. Say I move to TX (if take job), I could use my new address and get some EX pulls (save my poor INQ battered EQ). The only complication is I would had to verify my address as it would be a new address and not the one Ive used for the last 5 years.
Another item: say you have two addresses (two homes) could you select which one you use?

They're going to ask if you've lived at that address for the past two years or something akin to that. That I know Chase does for certain and I believe Amex did as well, and if you haven't, they'll want the prior address.
I'd also say primary residence which AFAIK needs to be defined for various reasons legally anyway.
