I can't seem to get EX to merge pulls from Amex.

Have pulls on 03/21, 03/22, 03/23, 03/30.

Tried already 3 times, and they just say can't be merged or need latter from Amex..

Any ideas?

Please don't use the word "merge" here to describe that.

They merge when on same day
Multiple days is multiple pulls except when shopping for home or auto loan, generally

If you called the next day and they pulled again it's valid. If anything call amex and ask them to maybe remove, but otherwise it's a legit pull. Sorry bro

If I am applying for a CC is there an advantage to wait until a statement closes for which i have about 50 AU cards in my name all showing on my CR, each with a balance of $112. Total avail credit is over 1M. Each card has CL of 24K. Statement will close next week with $0 so balance will go down by over 5k.

Yes, wait. The number of cards with a balance will make a difference.

Would multiple pulls for Chase business merge if they're for different businesses? I imagine yes just want a confirmation from experience

SBS
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

So you were like me who ordered AUs (though not 50...) in late Oct, early Nov in the hope of using them for SBS.

So that, and the fact that you still keep those cards show that there must be more benefits than just SBS...
