i have one collection, a 90 day late and two charge-offs, and am pre-approved on citi and chase
Get the f____ out of here! You see, it all does not make sense! I wonder what is keeping me from getting pre-approved!! I have no charge-offs, a late pay in 2014, and my scores are just above 670. I know my utilization is high at 50% but even when it was lower I didn't pre-qualify.
i know its crazy i was shocked when they popped up a week ago. All the negatives are from early 2013, so theyre almost four years old and perfect history since then, but i was still amazed that im pre-approved. im gonna app for freedom on feb 1
I received a pre-qual from CSP and Chase Slate in November. I waited about two weeks, researched, and app'd for the CSP (and was approved). I would definitely check their pre-qual tools on the website. Citi still won't show me any love
CSP- $8,000***Barclay JetBlue MC- $5,000***Cap One QS One- $3,550***Synchrony Walmart MC- $2,400***BOA Travel Rewards- $2,000***BP Gas- $600***CF- $500***Credit One- $450***Milestone- $300

I can count on one hand the numbe of preapprovals I've had from large banks, and they've all been online:
Capital One - Preappoved for a Platinum MasterCard back in 2014. Took the offer. Never preapproved for anything again.
Amex - Preapproved for the Green card back in 2014. Denied because a false collection was added to my report between SP for preapproval and the app. Never preapproved for anything again.
Chase - Preapproved for Slate and Freedom back in 2015. Took the offer and got Freedom. Never preapproved for anything again.
Never had a preapproval or mailer from Citi, Discover, Barclays, Comenity majors, Synchrony majors, etc.

Sounds like they hate you as much as the hate me!
I have 2 Citi cards and have never had anything in prequals anywhere, even when my reports weren't frozen. My first Citi card (the DC) was from a mailer, but it wasn't a pre-approval.

But I'm loved by those subprime lenders! I'm prequalified for CreditOne, Blaze Mastercard, Merrick Visa, and tons of payday loans from predatory lenders.

Same here.. Never with Chase and I bank with them for the past 8yrs.. Nothing from Citi too..
Recent from Amex which I accepted.. and a Mailer from Barclay Jetblue and Discover IT, both invites accepted as well.
Citi I think has a cut off to market around 680. Where they get their list is a guess. I got dozens of Citi DC offers for ever before I took one. Now I get Citi Diamond Offers. My wife who has higher scores and limits never has has gotten the first one.

I know Amex gets theirs from Experian. I think Barclays get theirs from Transunion and Discover get theirs from Equifax. However, I can't figure out Chase and Citi.
I received about 5 offers from Citi for a few months last year, none of which I took. I cold app'd for the TYPremier. The prequals disappeared after approval. As for Chase, I prequalified for CSP and Freedom back in 2015. I applied for both and havent received a prequal from Chase since. But a few weeks ago I was getting solid offers from Chase for several cards based on my relationship with them, not through prequal. All of those have since disappeared.
