Everyday Preferred app without a hard pull (declined)
I applied for the EDP card and initially got a "pending" result. A couple days later I called the recon line and was told the application has been declined. The interesting thing however is that the analyst stressed to me (on her own accord) that they did not make any pull (neither hard nor soft) from the credit bureaus but instead used the data from a previous pull they made last month.
I haven't applied to any amex card last month, so this pull is definitely a soft one and most likely was triggered by my checking for pre-qualified offers.
Till now I didn't think it was possible to apply without getting a HP...
