Which CB did they pull ?????


Chase pulled both my apps on TU. 


Did they give you your score? If so, was it a bankcard enhanced FICO score out of 250-900 or was it a classic FICO score out of 300-850?


Chase normally uses their own internal score; the "Chase acquisition score"


Hmm interesting..

 

The letter I received from Chase written 10/21/13 specifically states my credit score, that it is a FICO score and that it ranges from 250-900.

 

I have never received a letter from Chase saying anything about their internal scoring system. They probably ultimately do rely on their own system like all major lenders but never formally stated in a letter.

According to that letter it's not a FICO score.............. The scoring system used is Card Acquisition Risk Score : Also the Sorce is Chase Bank

So I wonder what algorithm (if any!) they use to determine when to give a sig card or not.  Seen a lot of posts of people being told to wait 12 months to upgrade a normal Freedom to a Freedom sig, whereas yours (and mine a few days ago) came like that.   

 

Personally, I don't see the great advantage in a sig card, particularly if you already have one, but I know people do.


Very interesting. I tried to convert mine a few months back as Freedom is my only non siggy and no chance with Chase....they told me it requires a 5K limit first.....oh well life goes on ...LOL

 

Also got my approval letter with Chase internal score which was over 100 points lower  than my Fico because of my app spree Smiley Sad

Re: Freedom Signature?

It is interesting how they decide which cards to make Siggy's. My Freedom was approved with a 8k limit as a non-signature. I never requested that it be made a Siggy, as I have other cards that are, and it was not a big deal to me. So just because your limit is above the 5k threshold does not mean you willl automatically get a Siggy.


CC's: AMEX (4), Alliant Visa, PenFed AMEX, Pen Fed Promise, Citi (3), Chase (5), US Bank Cash+, Huntington Voice, Nasa Plat Cash Visa, Barclay's Visa, Discover IT, Cap One QS, BOA (2), BMW Visa, 5/3 Real Life Rewards MC; FNBO Amex; Comenity Visa/MC (3), Ebates Visa Siggy, Nordstrom Visa, Walmart MC, Sam's Club MC; A few assorted store cards.

Current Scores (09/2017): EQ My Fico: 786; TU MyFico: 799; EX (My Fico): 797
