I applied over the phone for a credit card that was advertised on USAA website as a 1.5 % cash rewards credit card. I think it was a new product at that time, so when I called to apply the lady had trouble finding the specific XXXX I wanted, but after a few minutes on hold she came back and said that she had found the 1.5 % cash back World MasterCard that I wanted to apply for. We went through the application process over the phone and at XXXX other times throughout the conversation I verified that this was the 1.5 % cash rewards card. I was put on hold again XXXX of these times and the worker came back to the phone and said yes, this is the 1.5 % cash rewards program card. After a few days I got the card in the mail and it was just the plain USAA World MasterCard, not the 1.5 % cash rewards card. I already had a 1 % rewards card from them. So after several unsuccessful phone calls to their executive resolution people, I sent a consumer dispute form to them detailing that I wanted the card removed from my credit history and deleted, not cancelled. ( I was told over the phone multiple times that the only thing I could do was cancel the card, but I will not do this because it lowers your credit score from my understanding to have an account opened then closed within a month period. ) They contacted me and said they could not do what I wanted by removing the inquiry from my credit history because I did authorize application and that I would have to cancel the card and re-apply. I authorized application to the 1.5 % and not the card they gave me, so I believe it is their responsibility to remove the application from my credit history.
