Right, but you would do better using a different name on your apps.   NotYourAverageJoes would probably cause more confusion but something like SolidReliableAndOhSoCreditWorthy   might get better results!

Consider freezing a couple of minor credit reports before applying to US Bank for a credit card.  Seems to help odds of approval.

 

 


This has led to a bunch of denials. They're on to that trick.

Advocating freezing credit reports for odds of an approval from another credit agency is against MyFICO TOS.

Re: Why not US Bank?

The thing about approvals is that they're contagious, some people simply cannot stop at one. And the more you keep apping, and are rejected the more it will continue to happen.

 

Some people's files can handle app sprees, some cannot. Your first denial should be a wake up call to slow down and age things.
