which banks in midwest use experian for their credit pulls?

DP: both chase and barclays use transunion, so getting rejected for too many inquiries (not openings).

Anyone happen to know if Amex business gold shipping credit works at places like CH shipping center in crown heights?
Still looking for a good MS method :)

Is it "safe" to pay off a chase credit card with cash, at the branch?
1) would it trigger an account shutdown
2) is it reported on your checking/savings account records?

B6,NK, and Hayat are the ones that come to mind of the top of my head.

you can do DL but it's not as straight forward.

ETA: you might want to look into earning FNCs, if you spending those amounts.

    I have the chase sapphire preferred which I just received my second bonus 2 months ago. I also have the chase freedom unlimited which I've had for about 2 years. I want to take advantage of the pay yourself back deal and cash out a lot of my points on grocery/dining. is it possible for me to upgrade from the CFU to the CSR, get the CSR (obviously without a bonus) and then cash out all my combined chase points (between me and my wife) on the CSR for 1.5 Per point?

it would only be worth it for me if I can do this and not pay the full annual fee of 550. so if I can do this now, and cash out asap and then downgrade back to the CFU after I cash out, would I only have to pay the prorated fee? - of about 2 months worth.

also would I have a hard pull? what about if I am at 5/24 already?

thanks

you can upgrade with no hard pull even past 5/24, they would charge you your annual fee but you'll get refunded when you downgrade back to the csp. You can transfer all your points to your Sapphire card to redeem it for 1.5 . Just make sure to use the $300 annual credit before you downgrade back.
Personally I'm not telling you they won't flag your account, so it might be worth it for you to keep it open for 2 months before downgrading back...

you definitely need to provide the social, and after that I can't see why you wouldn't add the DOB as well.
IOW I'm not sure if you need both, but I know you need the SS#
