Computer Center, Minneapolis Lines: 12 There seems to be a margin of some type where they won't send you a card unless you ask them why not. I know a few people who have gotten cards after being refused just by asking why they didn't get it. Do you suppose that it is because they are getting their credit references from a source that they don't want to reveal? Perhaps they figure that if you are persistant enough about why not, they figure that you you must be an OK credit risk. That is, if you don't know of anything bad on your credit record, then you are a better credit risk than the person who knows that they have thirty bounced checks and are 4 months behind in their phone bill. Anyone have any ideas about this?
