Hello All!
My husband got "pre-approved" with Credit One.
We accepted the offer and when we actually applied he got denied!
The reason being is that he already has a card issued by them... but he doesn't. I have a card with them and he is an authorized user on mine.
So my question is - Does Credit One consider an authorized user as a card holder and that is the reason he can't get one his own?
Thanks

Consider this as Credit One did him a favor. He really does not want this card, there are other cards out there that does not charge interest as soon as the transaction posts.
Even capital one secured card is better than Credit One. I don't trust companies who try to imitate other company's logo and deceptively try to trick consumers thinking into another thing.
Trust me, they did you a favor by declining.

To me credit one is definitely one of those "Gotcha!" CCCs...I think he's better off without it.
OP have you tried Cap1 secured??
Credit One is one of the worst CCs out there. They aren't worth it, so they did your husband a favor by denying him.
Credit One did him a huge favor! Not one of the best credit cards out there...I'd look around.
I was denied by them too! I don't care why though, after reading all the posts on here!
i just got a pre approval for them for 5k. but through it in the shredder.
at first i was like capital one? and nope.
you can customize cards with a personal photo which is kind of neat.

That's great and all but they have the nerve to charge $10 for it....at least with CapOne you can do that for free...
