I read an article today on an airmiles blog where she spoke about it being important to know which credit bureau the cards you are applying for pulls from and as I recently got a new BofA and Chase card (and it seems they both pulled from the same credit bureau as when I spoke to the Chase rep on the phone she knew I had gotten a BofA card 2 months ago) I want to know this as I'd like to try and get more signup airmiles bonuses. In reading this thread I see it depends on the state you reside in.

Does anyone know whether Citibank or Amex (seems they have the best airmiles offers) also pull from that same bureau as BofA and Chase do in Seattle (Washington State)?
