How to tell when Amex soft pulls?

I have reached my 61st day for Amex 3x CLI. It's my understanding that they pull Experian. I have my report, but how do I tell when was the last time that Amex did a soft pull? Because as I understand it, your 3x CLI is based upon the last SP.

 

Also, Experian is only reporting 2 HP's in the last year. However, my TU report shows 5 HP's. Why haven't these other HP's been posted to Experian? It's been several months on a couple of them. 

 

I was wondering because I don't want to do a 3x CLI if these 5 HP's are suddenly going to show up. But as it stands, I don't see them on my Exp report. So I'm sort of confused. Smiley Frustrated

you can probably pull your ex report some where, and it will show all the SPs they do. For me its like twice an month they SP. I don't think they are that strict with HP for cli i got both mine relatively easily. Will see how next one goes at end of the year. It will put me over 25k threshold.

Yeah, I'm just not seeing it. I only see the HP's. My 'Monthly Statement' is still not "ready yet." Whatever that means. Maybe once that comes in it'll show it. Smiley Frustrated

Yeah, I may just go for it. But I'm so paranoid. I went on an app spree the first part of summer so I have a number of new accounts/HP's. Like I said though, only two of the four HP's are even showing up on the Exp report. Util is at a steady ~6%.

How do you tell a soft pull from a hard pull?

Re: How to tell when Amex soft pulls?

The only place I have ever seen soft pulls on Experian is when I have logged into the "back door" with a report number, either previously purchased, or from a dispute.

Experian calls the  soft pulls section:

Hard Pulls are under:
