Card Match - Pre-Approval Site

Anonymous — Sun, 07 Dec 2014 21:56:32 GMT

Has anyone ever used CreditCards.com's card match? Does this legitimately give you a pre-approval for different cards or does it just suggest a few cards that you should try? Any reviews on it?

I do not know how reliable it is. They recently started pre approving me for Capital One cards, but when I go on the capital one pre approval site there are no offers for me.

I've used and they gave me AmEx EDP, ED, Gold and Platinum along with Cap1. On Cap1 site I PreQual for QS but I want to wait to app til my score is close 700. I don't want to pay AF on anymore cards although I only have one with AF. It's a good site though.

I just tried out the site like 3 different times, and I'm a bit suspect about the offers they give me? they were showing Amex Gold and Platinum for me with a 611 Fico and some bad guys? Plus they threw in some Capital One and First Premier Cards?

I believe that they show offers that suit them that the lenders are paying them the most to push?

Yeah! AF is even lower than the Ritz! and the low CL keeps me from buying things I don't need, like groceries.

That's actually not a "pre-approval" site in the same way that pre-approvals can be found through card issuer's sites. What that site does is the same thing Credit Karma does. It makes recommendations based on your credit profile. It also appears to be just as "accurate" as CK.

I was checking it religiously and it gave me offers for cards based on excellent credit like AmEx and everything below. I couldn't literally take it for its word. I did back it with up with Cap1 PreQual site and found I was good for QS1. I applied for QS1 after seeing offer and high approval for it on CK. So I applied 12/31 and got instant approval for $500. I was happy. Take these sites with a grain of salt. I'd say your credit report and financial habits May way more in your favor. Really you have to have all your scores pass their cut off score to be approved among other things.
