Does auto pre-approval mean eligible for CC?

I have been receiving pre-approval letters in the mail from Cap One for an auto loan. How likely is it that they approve me for a CC if I applied? OR is there any connection? 

I guess I just rationalized that if they are offering me a car loan, then maybe a CC would be approved as well.

Hi joy,

 

It's always fun to be wanted!

 

Auto loans are different manimals than CC - auto loans are secured by the vehicle.  Sometimes it's easier to get a car loan than a CC.

 

Cap One has a pre-approval site for CC's that you might want to check out.

 

Even better, do some homework and find the cards that would work best for you and your credit report - then you'll know the card(s) YOU want.  Smiley Wink
