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 ![]()

That's interesting...
Here's a letter I got from them on 10/21/13.

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.
