Certainly don't need the card that badly and I told them to shove it. I hated to waste the hard pull, though, and I'm still curious whether this is truly a new policy to verify income and identity, or whether something else was going on. They wouldn't tell me what triggered the request, so I'm looking for any other data points out there.
