As others have said, it leaves a mark that lets other creditors know that you’re actively seeking more credit which is a risk factor they should know about. It wouldn’t surprise me to see all CLIs turn into HPs industry wide and I would support the move. If Discover did HP CLIs, we probably wouldn’t see people with high incomes getting denied or tossed $200-$500.
Income is not shown anywhere on a CR. HP or Sp doesn't make a difference. Income is self reported unless a creditor requests verification.
They can get a picture of your liquid cash based on your charges and payments.
That wasnt my point though. My point was that HP CLIs tend to be higher than SP ones.
They get the same info in either type of pull. An HP doesn't give the creditor a better picture of anything it simply puts a mark on your file that you are seeking credit.
It is possible that some, like Citi may be willing to give a higher cli if you are willing to take an HP, but the type of pull doesn't give then any additional information.

They cannot see SPs from other financial institutions which is exactly why standard procedure is to do a HP when a consumer requests credit, that’s my point.
I don't belive a creditor ever sees SPs. My understanding is the only one who sees SPs are a consumer when you pull your report from annualcreditreport.com. (someone with more knowledge please correct me if I am mistaken on that) Marks for an SP wouldn't really give insight to a creditor as lots of SPs show up that have nothing to do with requesting a CLI or new credit. Most SPs are the result of a creditor or prosective creditor pulling information for account review or marketing purposes.

That was exactly the point I was making. A HP shows without a doubt that any CLI that appeared on a consumer’s report was asked for and lets other lenders see that the customer is seeking credit actively. A SP doesn’t show up so lenders have no way of knowing if the CLI was requested or automatic by the lender.
They wouldn't be able to tell with the HP. There's no notation that it was for a CLI. For all the banks know, you applied for a new card and was denied as there isn't a new tradeline on your file. The only reason for it is to indicate that you were seeking additional credit. Period.

I took the SP offer as that put me over $10,000 with them, which is what I wanted. Not sure why they would potentially give more with an HP, but there you go. Just my very recent experience.
Banks have internal limits they set for you. The SP CLI would take you to the max. A HP would allow them to reevaluate what that limit should be.

I completely misunderstood your point before Now I think I have it.
