Re: AU's....CLI's......Hard pulls....

I don't think you can do it as an AU - But you can do it as the Cardholder, thus affecting the AU as well....

Re: AU's....CLI's......Hard pulls....

The credit of an AU is not pulled for a CLI. An AU is not responsible for the card and therefore credit/income etc is not a factor. If the account was joint, then a cr can be requested.

Ok, good to know. She's gonna do the request, but I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't gonna be hit as well.

Since she is an AU it will HP your credit beacuse your the primary cardholder your DW is just an addictonal card holder. Only in a Joint acct will both incomes count towards the decision of the CLI

Ok, that's what I thought you meant. When your wife requests a CLI, your cr will not be pulled.

Oh! ok then no they will not HP your credit since your the AU and DW is the primary cardholder. Sorry for the mix!
