Should i get excited?

So i just got two baddies removed from my credit report within the past few days and my scores havent updated yet. I got an email from Citi Cards today about the Thank you Preferred card. The email said "____, your latest offers from Citi Cards." It then has a picture of the card and all the rewards associated with it. Is this like a pre approval?

 

I did the pre approval link and it said it couldnt match me with an offer but Im not sure how they got my email. My scores are low so I dont want to waste a HP if I will just get denied. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Re: Should i get excited?

you should absolutely be excited and proud of yourself for those two baddies clearing out. however, wouldnt think of it as a preapproval, as many ads contain very similar verbiage nowadays.

 

i agree and think you should wait it out unless there's an immediate need for more credit. :]

It's a mass mailing. Wish it was a preapproval for you! Garden until those baddies are off for ideal approvals.
