AmEx, Citi Dangle Bevy of Perks to Antsy Premium Card Customers

Visa and Plaid scrap $5.3 billion merger agreement

my god these people are slowpokes! https://www.statefarm.com/finances/banking/credit-cards and that page says "Starting in 2021..." yet lower down says "next year"

I'd worry more about the impact of AAoA of a new account than CLI inquiries. That said, an answer to the sweet sweet prime card question will be a function of your current cards and spending patterns. Also, since many issuers (e.g., Citi, Amex, BOA, etc) do a soft* for a CLI, I'd try this first. * these three will ask you for special double secret permission for a hard if a soft won't suffice for them.

Note that I have no experience with EToro so please do your own due diligence or you might end up with Robinhood-lite.

Patrick Reames had no idea why Amazon.com sent him a 1099 form saying he’d made almost $24,000 selling books via Createspace, the company’s on-demand publishing arm. That is, until he searched the site for his name and discovered someone has been using it to peddle a $555 book that’s full of nothing but gibberish.
