P2 called recon and they connected her to some credit dept who said “you can’t recon if you’re already denied and need to reapply after 60 days”?? Does anyone know what that means? She sounded as if she was saying you can recon only if it wasn’t denied already?

That made no sense to us. Looking for any helpful DPs on this.

p.s. P2 applied and got approved just 3 days ago for the United Explorer so wondering if that credit inquiry might’ve had an impact on this?
