Need help compiling a recon call number guide

scenery_guy · ‎04-13-2013

It's time to build a new thread with hopes that it can become a guide for recon calls. Although the sticky Backdoor Numbers is a great resource it is becoming a little dated and contains almost too many numbers. Please take a moment to help me build the community a recon call guide so we can all have access to what has become an important resource for obtaining credit cards.

I need recon call information for all cards and banks - personal and business.

Please post your recent recon information including:

The credit card and the issuing bank

Date of recon

The number you called for recon

If you requested to speak to a supervisor please note if they transferred you and if it helped get approved

Feel free to add what type of information they asked during the call if it seems relevant.

If you have used numbers from the Backdoor Numbers thread that did not work (no longer in service, wrong department answered etc) please add that information. No need in compiling numbers that are dead.

I will update my progress periodically on this thread and ask for help with missing numbers.

Thanks in advance for your help!

That's fine, in a way I am helping them make money. We can't use the card to earn them a swipe fee unless we can actually get approved. Sometimes all they need is a gentle nudge for an approval that would have been a denial and a wasted HP. Call it capitalism.

Bump.

I know there are plenty of recon call makers out there. Jump in and post your information. Does not matter what card, what bank. We need fresh info please!

But wait, there's more. For a limited time the next ten posters will get a limited edition e-tshirt* that says "I helped build the MyFico Recon Guide and all I got was this lousy tshirt and the credit card I applied for because I know who to call and what to say".

* no real tshirts exist but getting the card you applied for does.
