Shoot! I'm sorry, MyFICO. I was going to try the SPG through the CreditKarma affiliate link to see if I could get them to pull Transunion and I completely forgot.

so if I apply for an American Express BCE and get denied, it'll be a soft inquiry on my credit report? And there will be no hard pull?

Does that include being AU on a family member's AMEX BCE account?

I don't believe so, no.

Does that include if I am just an authorized user on an amex green?

my wife has head me as an AU for a couple years on her green card but my credit is reaching a place where I should be able to pull my own prime cards and amex blue is on my hit list.

Thanks

EDIT: bah. I just saw where my question already got answered. Sorry.

^^nope you must me a actual card member, in other words the card must be under your name in order to qualify for the soft pull in case of denial in a amex card application
