Update: no CLI for me! Will try again in six months.
I hate that .. Hope it works for you next time.
I have a friend who works in UW at US Bank and I've also had a credit card with them for over 15 years now. They aren't a bank where there are tricks and tips into getting regular SP CLIs. If that is what you're after, I'd stick with companies like Discover and NFCU.

This isn't true.
Sorry you didn't score a CLI @FettHutt -- next time for sure.

A freeze only prevents new credit inquiries. It does not prevent creditors that you have an established relationship with to pull a hard inquiry.

Yes it does, or at least it's supposed to. It doesn't prevent new accounts being made, if the creditor wants to make one without a hard inquiry, but it should prevent hard inquiries.
I've had this first hand when Cap1 rejected an app because they couldn't pull Transunion because TU glitched and didn't unfreeze as expected.

Yes it does. It blocks SPs as well unless they are coded as AR inquiries. If they're coded for new credit, they're blocked.

Actually, it prevents HPs from existing creditors
They can perform SPs every minute, but not HPs.
That's just how it is.

And even though an existing creditor only wants to SP, they still want your reports unfrozen to consider a CLI.
