I, and DW, were not declined, but did not receive pre -approval. All of our files are locked. No reason was given.

that's odd...I can understand technical difficulties try again later but the reference to the branch is new. Could just be their standard message and @Jnbmom could be right...frenzy of prequal processing the MF's make up a very specific segment of consumers, but they are regional and I've never seen a buzz this big with BB&T so could be a genuine overload lol

Try it on your phone! Try it on IE! Try it in Chrome! before they come to their senses no pressure

One other thing, do you have a fraud alert on freeze on reports?

The reason I asked is when I first applied I had a fraud alert on EQ ( thank you exp grrr) anyhow it said they couldn't process that I needed to apply at the branch, however I didn't use the prequalify link when I applied because I wasn't aware of it. But I got FA off and then it went through.

No, no freezes on any of my reports. It’s so strange they pre qualified me for all 3 then I accepted offer and then got that message. It told me “we’re currently experiencing technical difficulties and are unable to continue the application process online. Please try again later or visit a local branch to apply.” It then gave me a application number so we will see I’m gonna first thing tomorrow.

One of the other posters had the same result. Applied and got offers, then checked it again quickly and t had zero offers. The next day the offers reappeared.

Did it give you the reservation number? I know when I first checked mine it had an offer code and an expiration date of like May 30th or something so I think if it went thru once and it locked in the offer code, you should be ok to check it again tomorrow and see what it does.

For good measure clear your history/cache before retying so it doesn’t default to pulling up the error message again

FWIW When i first went there it was wonky so i simply switched browsers and the entire prequalify and buttons worked as expected.

You might try that to see if it helps.

I’m betting myFICO crashed it. 😂🤣

I'm prequalified for all 3 but don’t need it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@shoegal, its not about need, its about the Experience! Plus for every useless approval, we add to the Legend of #TeamMyFico and to be a plank owner of a FOTM card is special.

Ps, ive no self control i would have smashed already if i could

For those wanting the card. I got the Spectrum 9 months ago less than 3yrs post BK. Went online. Opened their e-savings which is free to hold the CB when I hit the $25 transfer limit. Then applied approved for $7500. Not a customer. Just to add some DP's for you guys. Smash away!!!
