I requested an increase on my Zales account which I do once every few months and was granted a 2k increase from 8k to 10k however I incurred a hard pull on EQ ☹️.
I didn't notice any verbiage regarding the hard pull prior to me adding my income, but I was moving fast so I may have missed it. I have 9 inquires on EQ and would not have requested if I had known it would be a hard pull.
Zales did this to me once before when I used the card after a long period of non usage.
I only use the card every blue moon usually with a promotional period and pay it off before interest incurs
Happy to have the additional padding, unhappy about a hp, but it is what it is
Congrats on your Zales CLI . . . yep, it's a bummer that it required a HP.
Congrats , im curious cause i only seem to find places that pull EX or TU, what are some EQ cards that you have from the 9 INQ
The EQ pulls are:
Comenity Williams Sonoma - Card is now Capital One so expect a pull from all 3.
HSBC Gold and HSBC Advance MC - HSBC recently sold its CC business so I'm not sure if you can even app for these anymore
HSBC personal loan - Banking relationship sold to Citizens Bank
CitiBank Costco Visa - 2 pulls both denied one in 2020 and 2022
Capital One Saks Fifth - pulled all 3 bureaus then denied for too many inqs
PenFed Power Cash rewards -only pulled EQ
And the recent Zales pull for the cli
I targeted EQ back in 2020 because that was my only report with 0 inquiries. Now I have 9 with 4 new accounts, a Paid personal loan and a cli. 2 will fall off end of this year and 5 next year.
EX and TU will be clear next year but I have no other accounts (other than Costco) that I am interested in
Bummer but there is always that chance😂
WooHoo!! Congratulations on your Zales Approval!!👏🏼🍾🥂
Congratulations on your Zales CLI!
Yep sadly since the Website Change over cluster mess earlier this month most folks are reportly now the CLI on Comenity/Bread cards is now a HP instead of the former SP.
Congrats on your Zales CLI
