Starwoods Credit Card VS. Starwoods Business Card
« on: December 11, 2012, 01:40:46 PM »
I am applying for the Amex SPG card, the question is should I get the Amex SPG credit card or the Amex SPG business card? Is there really any big difference in the benefits they come with?

For those that don't know exactly what a pull is and why it might be bad, can you please explain.

search button.
a pull is when the credit burea "pulls" you information.
to many pulls will lower your score
lower score will lessen the ability to get further credit

I doubt even a search would have explained what a pull is. Its the B in the ABCs of credit cards.
