Nothing ever shows up for me on any of the other pre-qual sites. Even Cap One, which is happy to give me their cards, shows me nothing in pre-qual.
On the US Bank site though, I get 3 different options every time. In the past I've seen the Flexperks VS and Amex, and today I also got Perks+ and Cash+. I looked and it appears that they rarely approve the Cash+ for people under 700 score, so I'm definitely not confident that would work out for me. What I'd actually be interested in is the Club Carlson card.
Anyone know how reliable the pre-quals on the US Banks site are?
Are you opted-out of pre-screened offers?

Just to be sure, are you seeing something like "Congratulations, here's what we have for you" and then the card APRs are fixed numbers, or are they giving you some range of APRs? I also get 3 cards but none have a fixed APR listed for me, so they are marketing stuff as far as I am concerned.
Nothing comes up for me on other card companies either; last was Chase Slate and it went away a few weeks ago.
Wow!!!!
Actually got pre-approved for their secured credit card lol!!!
I had never done their prequal site before. Lol it only offered me a debit card.
So if it's an APR range then it's just marketing. I agree that it only makes sense to apply with a higher score, that's great advice.

Yup; US Bank has some strict underwriting and lot of manual verifications. I only applied for the Cash+ when my scores went 720+. Especially with Cash+ there's the chance of getting the Visa Platinum whose rewards are sort of meh.
Grow your scores and come back; the cards will be still waiting for you
The secured card is what they offer a lot of people, including myself.
