No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Discover is a great card to have, and the impact of having another credit line positively reporting will outweigh the negatives of another inquiry. I don't have any experience with their secured product, but I highly reccommend Discover in general. Their customer service is second to none.
If you use the prequal, and get a prequaled offer, its been trending lately they havent done a HP opening the account.
It happened to me and several others over the last 3 months.
But we believe it MUST be a preapproved offer and not a cold app.
So make sure you use the prequal tool first.
This is not a guarantee, just some datapoints.
When I apped, I didn’t get a HP. Some people on the boards are saying if you sign up for discover’s credit monitoring service (its free and updates 1x a month), you won’t get a HP.
I had the service, was preapproved, apped and didn’t get the HP. Wouldn’t hurt to sign up for it. Good luck!
