Does a pre-approved offer from discover ,online mean you will get the card?

Just wanted to know if the Discover pre- approval  site is 100% correct when it says congratulations you are pre-approved for these cards. I punched in my name and it says IM sorry we have no pre-approval offers for you. Punched in my husbands name and it says congratulations you are pre-approved for these cards.  My question is , will he get the card if he applies or what does this mean exactly? Every time I have ever checked my name it does not recognize me even though I got a discover more card on Dec 10th 2011.

It's been said pre-approvals are not guaranteed, however I was always denied for Discover until I saw that pre-approval. I would check it daily, never had an offer. Applied a couple of times and was denied. The very day I got the pre-approval, I applied and was approved. That was my experience with Discover, and as always YMMV, but I'd think your husband would be good to go.
