Re: Finally Approved USAA Cash Rewards Amex

As mentioned earlier, this is what I see when I am logged into my USAA account...and I'm a partial member. I see the Rate Advantage Visa Platinum, but it won't let me apply for that one. I'll get the Cash Rewards anyway. But I wonder if this means I won't ever see a targeted offer like someone had in another thread with an intro APR?

Congrats on the USAA Amex! Interesting that they kept using the EQ to make a decision, but the FICO score provided by USAA is EX.

I was going to garden... Honest!

Re: Finally Approved USAA Cash Rewards Amex

Lenders rarely use the "free score" they provide as a means of determining credit worthiness. (Most are Fako, or a proprietary blend).

That being said, I *believe* USAA uses true Experian FICO for their free score. So I guess in areas where they pull EX for apps, the free score you see might actually align.

Some areas they do pull EX for credit. Others still EQ.

That is a FAKO, not FICO. But yeah, USAA always pull EQ.
