It let me add my 16 year old son as an AU during the Application process and this card will be used exclusively by him for gas while he's still at home and keeping his grades up.
That makes 2 new INQs on my EQ after going 6 months without any which is probably why I got 2 instant approvals. Time to put EQ back on lock down!!
Nice work on making the best possible use of your INQ's after cooling them off for awhile.
Congratulations on BOTH approvals!

Yeah it's not easy at all. I live in Georgia where EVERYONE pulls EQ so my EQ was beat to death so since I subscribe to Complete Advantage it was easy to lock it down and it does work just not any fun. I spent the last 6 months destroying EX and TU, so that made me feel better...

Haha let's trade! In UT everyone seems to pull Experian, with an occasional TU. My 1 EQ inquiry is from CapitalOne last summer... nobody else that I can find besides PenFed reliably pulls EQ here.
