***---UPDATE---*** VISA / DSNB SP me last month

[FinStar]

AR or PRM from the following are part of the Macy's/Bloomingdale's card programs, which would indicate current open accounts (or previous accounts - including jointly) with any of their store, club, or AMEX TLs(or previously issued Visa cards).  For PRM, this may likely indicate any possible pre-screened offer.

EX:

MACY'S

BLOOM/DSNB

AMEX/DSNB

EQ:

Macys/Dsnb

Amexdsnb

Bloomies/Dsnb

VISA Dsnb

All will display the 9111 Duke Blvd (OH) mailing address.

I was SP by VISA/DSNB on 9/27/13. I'm thinking it's because I was once an AU on a Macy's AMEX and it still shows up on my CR even though i'm no longer an AU. I haven't received anything in the mail. And, I was SP by capital one just 25 days after the HP for my best buy card. Strange...

Macys and Citi business/personal have always softed Equifax. Although, when I asked for the upgrade to the American Express and the first time I asked for a credit limit increase on the Macy's American Express they checked Experian.

Hey everyone! I actually notice the exact same sp on my EQ credit report today as well!  It was from September! I was curious about it, but couldn't figure out.  Glad I saw this post.  I do have a Macys AND Bloomindale credit card, but their SP's show up as that Macys DSNB and Bloomingdale DSNB...so it's wierd.

DSNB = Department Stores National Bank, the private label affiliate of Citi.

Yes, I am aware what DSNB is, I was just curious as to why the SP shows up as DSNB Visa.  I also have the Best Buy card, so maybe  Citi SP'ing because I have  the Best Buy card and they just took those over, ...but it's not a Visa though.  None of my DSNB cards are.  So just trying to figure out what is was for/from.  But oh well..lol

You called to upgrade to the AMEX? And was the CLI auto? Or did you request it?

***---UPDATE---**

I got SP again 10/25 for both AR-MACYS/DSNB AR-VISA DSNB 

EQ sas this about AR - 

"Inquiries with these prefixes indicate a periodic review of your credit history by one of your creditors"

Anyhow what up with macys?

Are they preparing to give us big CLI for the shopping season?

I checked my EQ, you were right 09/27 and 10/25.
