EXPRESS store card pre approval

Hi, i got a preapproval pop up while checking out on express.com and got the 7-10 day message. Does this mean I got denied? Will this be a soft or hard pull? And which bureau do they usually pull? I am currently rebuilding and recently got approved for a walmart and chevron gas card.

Re: EXPRESS store card pre approval

The pre-approvals that pop up on any WFNNB backed store site are always a soft pull.  I actually received the same kind of deal when pre-approved for The Buckle store card.  But after 3 recon attempts I was finally granted approval.  So don't give up.  7-10 doesn't necessarily mean denial.

Re: EXPRESS store card pre approval

When they pre-approved me, they did the SP on EQ.

 

You should be able to get it....try calling customer service and then getting to an operator. I used 1-800-201-4955

Re: EXPRESS store card pre approval

Thanks!! I called but they said they didnt have anything on file for me and told me to try again. I know its only a soft pull but not sure if I should wait or not. I was approved a month ago for a Buckle and Victoria's Secret card so I thought this would be an easy card for me

Have you tried to see if the pre-approval came back up again?
