I know credit you you are the last person I needed to get a push from no offense lol. You have a weird way of making folks pull the trigger. I'm a try to wait till Friday though as my score will be much higher on EX when my discover reports 0 it's over 70% right now.

Try having to wait untill Jan/Feb to do an app spree... Knowing you're already pre Qualified and getting the best offers is two different stories.

 

I can go on an app spree now and more than likely quailfy for most of them, but it doesent mean I'm going to get good rates and Limits. Jan/Feb is when I'll be in good shape, so I just have to Garden till then. You'll be alright


This my friend I would not be able to do at all lol

Its tuff, but it's a sprint not a race.

 

Patience is a Virtue. I've learned that waiting is the key with Credit, rushing into anything in life usually results to things you end up not being satisfied with.

Seeing all these approval for freedom and other chase products in the approval forum I went to check chase pre qualified portal. I have had any pre-qualified offers every before so I was shocked when I seen a pre-qualify offer for a freedom card. I don't know why it did this maybe because I was expecting to see nothing but now I don't want to app until Friday when my discover reports the 0 balance and I'm in a better range as for as UTlL. It's only Sunday this is going to be a hard week smh.


What APR did the offer give you?


Pretty high compared to my other cards. 0 intro then 22.99 after based on market etc...

Wait until Friday then and don't use the pre-qual and apply for it and you may get better rate.

My partner had pre-qual for slate and has had it for over 6 months but recently when we actually needed it they had dropped it all the way to the 0% for 15 months and then the tier 3 22.9 apr so we cold applied without the pre-qual and they ended up approving at tier 1 12.99!!

 

and to poster waiting until Jan... I don't know where that figure comes from but doesn't make sense to me... in 6 months op could already have at least 1 chance at auto cli if not more and gone through 2 5% bonus categories... wait to jan is for the birds with an offer for it now already and not needing to clear baddies.

Great advise as I would of for sure app through the pre-qualified offer. Wouldn't have though that much into it but what you've stated makes a lot of sense. Another reason why this site is so helpful it's great to hear all the views and opinion from everyone as even small details can cost you. Thanks everyone for the input I really appreciate it and I will update the outcome when I app.
