You cannot use an EIN unless you are using it for legitimate business purposes. The use of an EIN to obtain credit for personal purposes is prohibited by federal law.
If you are an employer and have applied for and received an EIN, you can use it when applying for business credit, or when filing business tax returns.

What is the purpose of Form W-9?
Form W-9 is Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification. Your taxpayer identification number (TIN) is your social security number. If you're a resident alien and you're not eligible for a social security number, then use the individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) assigned to you by the IRS. If you're a sole proprietor and you have an Employer Identification Number (EIN), then you can use either your social security number or your EIN. The purpose of Form W-9 is to provide your correct TIN to the requester (the person requesting it). The requester is required to file an information return with the IRS to report, for example, mortgage interest you paid, cancellation of debt, contributions to your IRA, real estate transactions, income paid to you, etc. In order to report this information to the IRS, the requester needs your correct TIN.

Is it ok if your social security number is close to an EIN?
I wasn't exactly sure what you meant by your question, so I went to Wikipedia to find out some more information about EIN numbers and Social Security Numbers. This is what I found: From "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Employer_Identification_Number" "Also known as the Tax Identification Number (TIN), Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) or the Federal Tax Identification Number, the EIN is a unique nine-digit number assigned by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to business entities operating in the United States for the purposes of identification. When the number is used for identification rather than employment tax reporting, it is usually referred to as a TIN, and when used for the purposes of reporting employment taxes, it is usually referred to as an EIN. This article will use the latter term. [edit]Comparison to Social Security Numbers Similar in purpose to the Social Security Number assigned to individuals, EINs are used by employers, sole proprietors, corporations, partnerships, non-profit organizations, trusts and estates, government agencies, certain individuals and other business entities. The IRS uses this number to identify taxpayers that are required to file various business tax returns. Individuals who are employers may choose to either obtain an EIN or use their Social Security Number for the purpose of reporting taxes withheld on behalf of their employees. Contrary to some misconceptions, credit bureaus and credit issuers can tell the difference between SSN and EIN Numbers. SSN Numbers can be validated as to origin and state / year of issuance. The credit bureaus and issuers are highly trained in fraud detection, and increasingly sophisticated algorithms and protections are used. This is why the EIN is not considered sensitive information, and is freely distributed by many businesses by way of publications and the internet."
