[04:33] IsambardPrince In the US, you have all kinds of credit scores. [04:34] IsambardPrince It depends on the model and submodel. [04:34] IsambardPrince And there's also more than one credit bureau. [04:34] IsambardPrince They may not have the same information about you. [04:34] IsambardPrince To make it even worse, they can modify the FICO software and even if they have the exact same information about you, your score can still be different between the bureaus. [04:35] IsambardPrince MinceR, Banks that are really averse to risk and want to know everything about you, will use two or even three of the major bureaus, while others just use one. [04:35] IsambardPrince Because it costs them to do things with those bureaus. [04:36] IsambardPrince For example, American Express will pull your Experian and TransUnion reports and use FICO 8 if you're a new customer, you will get hard pulls on both. [04:36] IsambardPrince Hard pulls damage your credit rating whether or not you get the card, but American Express is unique in that they tell you if you would get the card and you only get hard pulls if you accept it. [04:37] IsambardPrince Other banks make you apply, get the hard pulls, and then find out whether you're approved or not. [04:37] IsambardPrince After you have one American Express personal credit card, you usually will not get hard pulls if you want another personal credit or charge card from them. [04:38] MinceR :> [04:38] IsambardPrince They will base their decisions on their internal data about how you're managing the one they already gave you, plus the latest soft pull on Experian FICO 8. [04:38] IsambardPrince They usually soft pull that one every month, but sometimes 3-4 times a month. Seems to depend on what mood the bank is in. [04:38] IsambardPrince However, if you have personal cards and apply for a business, you'll get TU and EX hard pull again, and vice versa. [04:39] IsambardPrince So if you only have business cards, they'll hard pull you for personal ones. [04:39] IsambardPrince You're allowed to have five credit cards, any mix of personal and business. [04:39] IsambardPrince But charge cards don't count.

Gaslighting with lies.

[04:45] IsambardPrince MinceR, I never click "Check Spending Power" on the charge card. With my luck they'd go into FR the first time I did it. :/ [04:45] IsambardPrince I just try to buy what I'm going to buy and if they did decline it, I have other cards.
