They confirmed it will be a Hard Pull.
In Feb/March, my plan is to apply for (in this order):
1. A PC to the Affinity Cash Rewards
2. Alliant Visa Signature (I've been using them exclusively for banking for the past year)
3. Langley Signature Cash Back
My goal since discharge has been to regain a visa signature card and I hope by then that my profile will fill the requirements for one.
