I'm 'dinged' on my EQ for not having an installment account reporting, and in the spring my old PIF installment accounts that are still reporting to EX and TU will age off making my score drop 20-30 points (which is how much lower my EQ currently is with the only difference being the lack of installment history).
IMO taking out a loan this way even for a few months would be less paperwork and hassle than starting a new CU relationship and getting a share-secured loan.
When did you see yours? I saw mine today but when I cick on "start now" it says Offer No Longer Available I guess it was a fluke for me...
I got a pop-up a few days ago when I clicked to look at my BCP. Since then I've had a banner a couple of times, but I haven't gotten the pop-up again.
There's another thread with a link you can follow that works if you're pre-approved, or in my case on my BCP mixed in with my other random Amex Offers there's an "offer" for this loan - when you click the button there it also takes you back to the same screen the pop-up led to.
I'll try to locate that link and post it on this thread as well. Come to think of it, that thread might be better off merged here with this one - I'll have a moderator check into that.
As promised... from the other thread:

If anybody is able to locate a link to get more info please let me know where you found it... I would like to give this another look.
After I skipped through the pop-up too quickly I found "Consolidate Credit Card Debt" as the top Offer in my AMEX Offers section. The link leads to-

I received the popup for 25K at 12.something APR, quickly searched MyFico and ran across this thread. I read the FAQs and applied then received this message.
Lets see what they are looking for.
We'll process your application as soon as possible and let you know if we need any additional information.
thanks for posting your experience, how much did you try to transfer over?

Thanks, *****. We've received your application, but we can't give you a decision right now.We'll process your application as soon as possible and let you know if we need any additional information.
Should have menioned in my post. I tried to transfer 12K over. so far I have no email from Amex.
When I logged into BCP this morning, nothing popped up on that account in reference to this.
When I clicked over to my Amex Delta account, an offer popped up for $20,000 pre-approval at 6.88%. That APR sounded pretty good, and thought I would just check it out.
When I clicked on start now after receiving the pre-approval message, it said, unfortunately, we cannot pre-approve you at this time.
Hm...... after a pop-up message saying you've been preapproved (not preselected, but preapproved)? Amex must be playing April Fool's jokes in September. Weird.

I agree the share secured loan is a good deal (and easy) but if this works as advertised it would be even easier, and wouldn't require another CU relationship.
Not that having multiple CU relationships is bad... I'm just trying to keep things as simple as possible. Also, in my case the share secured loan would literally be the only product of Alliant I would be interested in, and I would almost feel 'guilty' on gaining membership only for that. (note the 'almost'... LOL)
