No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
..and instead of a job... well, let me explain:
I applied for a job I was qualified for at Fulton Bank, about 3 weeks ago.
Never heard back from them until yesterday. I received a letter. I assumed, in this day and age of rapid information and electronic mail delivery, that this letter was a rejection on their behalf and that they chose someone more qualified, or they hired internally, or whatever the blah blah blah was...
Lo and behold, upon opening the letter, I see... a pre-approval for their VISA card.
Really?
So I apply for a job and instead, I get offered their credit card. Should I consider this as a consolation prize?
I don't think I've ever had anything like that happen before.

Wild. lol I imagine they pulled your credit as part of the screening process and in doing that automagically added you to their "list"? Dunno ... but hey, if it is 0% APR, no AF, and 5 Delta Miles per dollar then heck yeah! Consolation prize territory! lol
To me it seem like rubbing salt on top of my wound. It is just me.
A. I would toss the app away.
B. They gave you insight into what type of company they are.
The only thing worse is if they called you back asking for a date. This happened with the wife of a co-worker who applied for a job at a bar. Shed didn't take the job and her would have been boss didn't get lucky.
Did you send them a follow-up email? This is a must. Although, at this point, it's probably too late.
Did not send them a follow up email, to be honest.
Last thing I expected was to get a credit card offer from them.
I wonder if this is some new hidden tactic now: "Post a job, send out CC offers to applicants."

Insert conspiracy theory here...
So if I got to all my local banks and apply for jobs I should be getting some descent cc offers >_> hehehe... pull one over on the man. Now to find a suit to match my aluminum foil hat.
Now that was funny in a weird way
Apply for a job and get a card preapproval
In retrospect, definitely hilarious.
I'm getting my credit report in a few weeks. I'll see if they actually softed me for this.
If you want a credit card at Fulton Bank, just apply for a job :/
