All three credit bureaus have this embedded in their system.

VantageScore was created by the three CB's, that doesn't mean any of the banks we typically care about are using it instead of FICO.

Don't confuse giving the score out for free and using it for their credit decisions.

Wow. if that's true, that could really be a big deal. any other reports on this? That affects me as a credit consultant big time..

If you are a credit consultant and do not know that Vantage Skore which the article is referencing is completely meaningless you should refund all of your clients their money and get a different job.  And I am not joking in the least when I make that statement.

Is it possible to move full CL between Amex cards when closing card or they don't let you transfer everything? Rep said need to leave $500 CL but I'm not sure if that's DROPR

So the rep was correct that can't transfer all before closing?

Thank you guys! Do you know if I can close card after requesting transfer or need to wait until CL transfer complete before closing it? Rep wasn't sure.

Transfer usually happens on the spot....
