Questions on Merrill +

Hello guys Smiley Happy 

 

I need some advice on what to do. I have been looking and reading up on the Merrill + credit card and it is becoming very enticing lol.

My scores are EX  735 TU 745 EQ 717 with around 8 % utility.  No baddies or lates with a 2 year history with 5 inquiries on my reports.

 

What are my chances? And would i be able to persuade them to use the pull from my application for the Fidelity Amex i got earlier this month to avoid the second inquiry from FIA?

 

Thanks for the advice in advance. Smiley Happy

chances are very high. 

 

it will be a separate inquiry. people are sometimes able to get it done via 1 HP if both apps are done within a 24 hour period.

For what it's worth, when I applied and got my card, the inquiry showed as Bank of America.

Re: Questions on Merrill +

Thanks you all for the very good information. I have decided to hold off on applying for the card as it is not something I really need at the moment.

 

I will hold off from applying for it for at least six months so i can age my inquiries and newer TLs.

 

Thanks again Smiley Happy
