Has anybody else tried this? Earlier today I set up a second account for myself for two reasons... 1) hoping for faster bumpage, and 2) to be able to check reports in the morning and in the evening! (OK, so I'm addicted... maybe I'll run it by my 12-step sponsor... not!) Anyway, PG was having technical difficulties with EQ access, so when I requested my report it failed with an error code 70! So I got my nerve up, called PG, fessed up to what I was trying to do, why, and asked if this was OK! The CSR said I can have as many accounts as I want... but that each one has to be on a separate credit card or it will automatically close the prior account! Finally, I verified with a tech that the two accounts will indeed pull a separate report each time! Bumpage... here I come!
Interesting approach. The problem I have with PG is I have a split file with EQ and they pull both files so it looks like I have twice as many accounts.
I'm curious if this works for you, but are you having the problems everyone seems to be having? I am wanting to join but are you able to pull every day (since you are paying!) and are you getting hard inqs?
All, I had promised myself that I would save the 2nd pull for this evening, but I didn't want to answer questions without knowing if it even works! I pulled a report using the 2nd account and it works fine. First account works fine too! Bigmon Interesting approach. The problem I have with PG is I have a split file with EQ and they pull both files so it looks like I have twice as many accounts. How do you know if you have a split file? Is this only with PG, or with all Reports? Is there any way of correcting a split file? What causes a split file? Amy B I'm curious if this works for you, but are you having the problems everyone seems to be having? I am wanting to join but are you able to pull every day (since you are paying!) and are you getting hard inqs? I pull every day. I had two hards and my wife had three. The problem appears to have been fixed on the 6th or 7th of May I e-mailed PG and threatened to sue for $5,000 for hards. They put a lackey on the phone to tell me to call somebody to fix it. I told them that I was calling nobody... that they were on notice that we are in the process of applying for a mortgage and that if the Hards didn't come off immediately I would sue. Got a call from CSM who took care of it... within four days all hards were gone. Sometimes they have problems, but for the most part I think it's good value. paw67 On the 2nd account that you set up, do they only charge you the $1 for the 90 day trial also? Not sure yet. I didn't ask and they didn't say. I'll have to see what's on my CC bill when it comes. No place did they say that they would charge me upfront for the second account. That being said, I would gladly pay the full amount up-front for the second account. I'm using it as a tool and they should get something for it if they want it!
ok i'm confused. If they deleted all your hards (or do you mean all the hards they - pg - put on there?) then how will we know if you are getting b? I want to know if you are getting b with all three? Does anyone get b with exp??
There is no bumpage with experian. Apparently they have their system set up to handle as many soft inq's as needed.
Just got my CC statement. PG charged me $1.00 for my second account with them. I have been pulling two a day since the original post on the topic. Now I need for a few more credit cards so I can get more PG accounts! BTW... confirmed... you must have a different CC to open the account. I tried to set up a second for my DW using a card I had already used with them and no go!
