My CL still didn't transfer and requested Tuesday last week
Why don't you call to see what happened?

Thank you guys! Do you know if I can close card after requesting transfer or need to wait until CL transfer complete before closing it? Rep wasn't sure.

Transfer usually happens on the spot....
(From my experience)

My CL still didn't transfer and requested Tuesday last week
If it didn't happen on the spot that generally means it's not happening. You should get a letter in the mail to that effect.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Still means nothing.
Actually it was spot on. At the time it was down all three of my scores were pulled and CK was spot on. CK showed a jump of 50+ points, and all 3 of my scored were pulled today as well, spot on x2.

CK will show an accurate report but not an accurate score.

What score are you comparing it to to know if it's accurate?

It was within 2 points of the 3 scores I received from hard pulls that day.

What about at two random times a month apart?

What's even weirder is this: Calculated using the VantageScore 3.0 model, these scores range from 300 to 850.
