Just FYI gang, I opted out via 1-888-optout and also via Privista last week. Today I pulled an Equifax report through Credit Watch and saw that just above the Inquiries section, it read "PROMOTIONAL BLOCK FILE BLOCKED FOR PROMOTIONAL PURPOSES"
LET US KNOW...if your F.I.C.O. goes up like 20+ points, I'll do it too...if it's 2 points...FORGET IT!!! PROMO OFFERS many times are better than "off the street" offers.
Thanks breeze and George. Yeah George, that's why I've hesitated until now. But it worries me more that I'm working on getting some pretty serious stuff removed from my report (BK, Judgment, collections, charge-oof) that a company I may want to do business with in future could have an old report of mine in their databanks with all these drogs on it. I mean, don't that just fry your gravy! So I took my chances and opted out. I'm hoping you guys will keep sharing the really good offerings (like you did about the Citi card George) so I can at least negotiate from a position of strength in future, even though I didn't get the cool promo myself. Alright George, breeze and everybody! You're my eyes and ears now!
