If i have possible fraud hard inquiry does that mean that someone didn't open a new account? Or could the new account show later..
What did you end up doing?
A family member just sent a screenshot from credit karma over yom tov someone tried applying for 5 cards..
What is the next step call each issuer?

Based on what I have read here (and I think there was something on MS at some point)
You probably want to check annualcreditreport to make sure it's true from an official source,
Then call each credit bureau and request a credit freeze

Yes, but after that you will still need to call the issuer in order to get it removed from your credit report. (i believe you can also dispute it through the credit reporting agencies but they probably request that you first go through the issuer and it will most likely take longer)

Does closing a delta gold business amex do anything bad? It's a business card so I know my score isn't an issue but I'm wondering is it flags anything with Amex. I'm planning on closing the card a year after I got it
Still looking for a good MS method :)

sorry if this is the wrong place to post.

I finished my annual max $6000 spend on Amex preferred to get my 3X points for groceries. What are other cards that offer more than 1 point per dollar for grocery stores?

thanks

Also Blue Cash Everyday which has no annual fee but lower CB rate.

And one quarter per year Chase Freedom has 5%

If I refer a friend to a chase card and before the points for the referral post i close (or downgrade) that card, will I still get the bonus?

some people mentioned they will try calling after receiving pop-up because they did not have card before but never heard of this working?
