Not just language in my case. They always wanna HP me! Good thing I left my EQ inadvertently locked last time I tried and got denied because of it!
Seems like it. There was reportedly a small period where they had language that indicated hard or soft pull, but that was replaced by hard pull only language again. I think I'm going to just sit with $5k limit on the Altitude Go for awhile and work on the other cards with whatever soft pulls I can get instead. Won't ever need more than that for the food/bar spend that I have.
as of 1/1/23
I applied for a CLI on my Cash+ at the beginning of July and received a SP $4k bump. Don't remember what the language said at the time of the application.
(As a bonus aside, i applied for a Fidelity card CLI on the same day and got an instant HP, thanks Elan! So even though Elan are USB, they operate independently)
There was a period a few months ago that some folk got SP CLI despite ambiguous language. I was one of them, and while grateful, I don’t think it will happen again any time soon given everything.
