So I tried the Sportsman Visa shopping cart trick. I was not getting any pop ups. So I triedthis link www.sportsmansguide.com/net/checkout/AdsPrescreenAcceptance.aspx another member posted in another thread. Once I clicked it my pre-approval popped up! It only asked me for income range and last 4 of SSI. Don't know what I was thinking?? I thought once you put in your last 4 it would just tell you what you were approved for and if you wanted it bla bla bla. So anyways it came back saying I was approved and I could use it now to pay or something like that. I really didn't want it since I just got, freedom 6k,Cit Simplicity 2K & Barclays Master 4k(already have the visa) in the last month. Ive got way to many cards now! Time to get rid of my 2 cap ones & credit one. So anyone know who they pull, & if this would of been a soft? I checked my Ex CR here just now and no new HP & nothing with Trans either. Have not checked EQ.
You typed your income and SSN in and didnt mean to? lol

I dont think its a hard pull. What was the limit? They are generally pretty good....

Awesome, good to know. Grats!

So wait what happens if im not approved after I put my info in? Look at the wording:

To accept this offer, you must:

at least 18 years of age.
be a U.S. resident residing in the United States.
have a U.S. Social Security Number.
have a street, rural route or APO/FPO mailing address (no PO Box addresses)

SO I guess as long as you have that you get approved this is crazy.

Ok so I called the number above & I was told I had a 2k limit. So im guessing they pulled EQ. I went to equifax [mod cut], to see my credit file & no HP there. I wish it had been a bit higher, but im going to close out my two $500 Cap One cards & my lil $300 credit one.

Mod cut-remove reference which violates TOS
