Discover Pre-Approval with Solid APRs

Shout-out to @Anonymous for pointing out that the Discover Pre-Approval page is now providing solid APRs for many people.

 

Here is a direct link to the pre-approval page:  https://www.discovercard.com/application/prequal?execution=e1s1

 

  • Note that this isn't a 'special' link; you can get to it by navigating to the main discover.com page, then selecting 'All Products', then 'Credit Cards', then 'See if You're Pre-Approved'.
  • The page does ask for your full social security number, but it states at the bottom that it does not impact your credit score; so far no one has reported a HP from using the tool.
  • Many people with existing Discover cards have reported success with the tool as well, but it is assumed the ususal requirement that an existing Discover account be at least a year old before getting a second account is still in effect.
  • At the bottom of the offer there is an expiration date in the 'fine print'.

Re: Approved for Discover via new Pre-Approval site!

Editing out URL just in case, go to their website, All Products, Credit Cards, See if you're Pre-Approved. 

 

It says "prequal" but I think it might be a HP... it asks for full social and income/residence info, plus it says this at bottom,

 

By checking this box, I authorize Discover to obtain information from my personal credit report or other information from one or more credit reporting agencies to determine if I am eligible for a credit card offer. I understand that this is not credit card application and by using this service Privacy Notices terms apply.

 

Would love to hear from the folks who used it if it shows up as SP or HP on their reports.

Thank you!  I found it.  I'm preapproval for the first time with Discover.  Unfortunately, I'm not ready to apply. Oh well...now I know where to look!

I was worried might be a hard pull when it was asking for so much info on the pre qualify page but then scrolled down to the submit button and it said  This won't impact your credit score .  I am guessing I received a hard pull once submitted the final app but not from the pre qualify site based on the language

Re: Approved for Discover via new Pre-Approval site!

Got the sorry you're not pre-approved message. They will mail me a letter within 7-10 days explaining why. Must be because I burned them in BK7 a few years ago Smiley Sad. Hopefully someday I'll be able to get back in. 

BK7 Discharged 4/15. Back to square 1.
