OK, so I said I was going to till the garden this year . . . I guess I was wrong . . . :smileysad:   I joined USAA last year but never opened any accounts, not even a checking.   After reading all the great things about USAA, I decided that since I only have one hard pull on EQ, I would bite the bullet and apply.   HAPPY DAY . . . . APPROVED!! . . . . CL $14,200, my highest (nearest is BoA at 12.5).  Not the best APR @ 14.2 + prime but I don’t care since I PIF.   I may open a (Free) checking account now that they’ve shown me so much love . . . .  :smileyhappy:   Thanks MyFICO members . . . . your advice and support have made my life much better over the years.  I truly appreciate you all.

my score 750+, never denied by any CCC. I am carrying a balance on my Chase card, around 18K (I don’t PIF because it offers 0% )My total CL is around $65K plus Citi World Mastercard not reporting a $14K CL.  The reason given by them was that I didn’t have a real estate mortgage account and my balance was too high.   just couldn’t believe it, it’s my first time in my life to get denied by ccc.   Here is my cc portfolio:     Bank of America            $30K/$0 bal. Chase                           $19.3K/$18K bal. AMEX Starwood             $10500/$0 bal. AMEX Blue                    $2.7K/$0 bal. Citi World MC                $14K/$0 bal. Home Depot                  $7K/$0 bal. Auto loan                      $14K bal. (0%)       Message Edited by lovem6 on 02-24-2010 08:45 PM Message Edited by lovem6 on 02-24-2010 09:11 PM

Should I bring this to their attention or just let it ride until it is no longer in my favor and get a double dose of positive reporting?   I have gone from TU reporting 551 to 555 and EQ went from 557 to 605
