Re: Is EQ the favored credit bureau by most credit cards?

IME, EX has been pulled exclusively for the vast majority of my cards. The only one that have pulled EQ are Amex (triple pull) and AT&T when I bought a phone, and then on TU I have Discover, BOFA when I requested a CLI, and Amex again with the triple pull. Sometimes I wish TU or EQ were pulled more....

Bank of America: Cash Rewards.- 4.2k. 4/25/12 (CLI Increase 6/15/13, CLI May of 2015, sept 2015), Citi: Forward- 4.5k. 10/27/12 (CLI on 2/8/14, SP, CLI on 9/26/15 sp). Discover: More- 7k, 10/27/12 (Increase 6/1/14, CLI in May of 2015, SP 9/2015) Amex: PRG- NPSL (closed 12/13/13). 11/24/12.

Agreed. I had zero on EX and TU but 3 on Equifax.

I found when i was rebuilding and working with sub-prime cards they like pulling EQ and TU, mostly but since I have moved to primeville, EX is their favorite report to pull.  AMEX, Discover, Citibank, all pulled EX for approvals.

 

YMMV
