I keep getting accepted for everything.  I don't know where the limits are.  I know people that have been approved for Citi cards with 20 INQ's on EX though...and according to the FT crowd that isn't possible...except that it is.
 

How many INQ's in the past 6 months?

Are they pulling EX for you? I assume that is the point of mentioning EX but just looking to get your entire point.

I read the full CSP terms and conditions - it won't provide additional return protection for jewelry. Still a good offer and I may apply for it for the UR points because I can hit the immediate spend.

What I am really looking for is a card with return protection for jewelry.  Do any visa/mastercards offer that in the event that the custom ring needs to be modified or exchanged?

You can freeze your reports and only thaw them when you want to apply for something. This may impact your reception of offers  detrimentally, though. I get IDprotect for free from mountainone bank. It seems to be a standard monitoring service. It seems me alerts when there are pulls, new accounts are added, ect.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

I closed an amex three years ago. Today i got a statement on the card with a charge from Brookstone.  I disputed the charge.

How is this possible?

If BofA promised me on the phone it would be a soft pull to transfer CL from one of my CCs to another, and then they did a hard pull anyway, who would I dispute that with? BofA or TransUnion?
