Cap One pre-approval - SP or HP?

My boyfriend is getting pre-approval letters from Cap One.  He read somewhere else that they do SP.  I figured they'd do their typical 3 HP's on the application even though you got an offer.  Does anyone know?

Yes, if you apply they will still have to do HPs. It's only the pre-approvals themselves that are soft.

OK thanks, I thought I had read that.  I told him to wait for something better.  He's got a thin file so not sure where to start.  I'm thinking Walmart.

Walmart would be a good choice so he can track his progress with the free FICOs.

My thoughts exactly!  I added him to 2 of mine (Cap & USAA), we'll see what that does for starters, if anything.
