In the last week, I recieved both of these letters in the mail: PNC Points Visa and Sheetz Visa.
I get one of the PNC letters about once every month, and they usually follow up with an email about a week later. The Sheetz card came in the mail yesterday. It just figures that after I move to Kansas, I get credit card offers from Pennsylvania.
Are these pre-approval letters or are they just general letters asking me to apply? I'm not really interested in the Sheetz card, because I don't live near their gas stations anymore, but I'm interested in eventually getting a PNC card. I've looked at their CashBuilder card, and I'd be eligible to get 1.5% cash back on everything based on my current accounts with them. Am I more likely to be approved for the card if I use their offer code? Does anybody know much about PNC credit cards?
I just happened to apply for the Sheetz Visa because, as you know Sheetz is on every street corner in PA now. I liked the idea of 5 cents off in addition to the 3 cents off from the regular Sheetz reward card. So, I applied and was rejected due to too many HP recently. The very next day I got the exact letter you did so I called them and said, hey I was just turned down online for the card and this came in the mail. She said, they always take you if you get the letter, so she recommended I apply for it with the special code at the bottom right of the letter. Lo and behold I was turned down again. So, it's not an automatic thing. If you're in Kansas, I don't think there are Sheetz down there, although they were all over I-81 in MD/VA/NC when I was down there last week, so you never know.
