A useful next step
Request written terms and run a side-by-side calculation. Check whether one offer includes optional products or variable pricing.
Keep the decision grounded
Check the actual account terms and a dated credit report when the issue involves reporting. No tool can guarantee a score, approval, or deletion of accurate information. Keep copies of any agreement or correction.
