Amazon Store Card Denial - Different Scores

Anonymous — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 15:43:10 GMT

Hey guys i just applied for an amazon store card a few days ago and recieved an email stating the denial, as i looked at the denial letter i read at the bottom that my score was a 424, and i was wondering how that was, so I heard they pull Transunion so i bought my score today from here, and its a 609, how is it possible they generated a way lower score then my 609? i know a 609 is low but im on my way in credit repair as i just bought a car and it dropped all my score down from a 650.

Does the denial letter show what scoring system they used and the ranges?

^ ok i just read that it states they used a credit score developed by them to make the decision from a range of low 300 to a high of 620, and they gave me a 424.

That's what I figured, seems like you are right in the middle for them (more or less).

At least now you know it's not them giving you a FICO score of 424.

Sorry you didn't get the card though.
