TD $200 PreSelect App

TiggerDat — Sun, 22 Nov 2015 03:04:56 GMT

So I app'd fot the TD Cash Rewards card after getting a mailer telling me I was preselected. It has $200 Cash back after spending $500, which seemed like a rather nice deal since Christmas is coming up. I got the 7-10 message, which I was half expecting. So my questions are;

Are they inquiry sensitive?

Are they quick at doing the review?

Are they conservative like US Bank, middle of the road like Barclays, or easy like Capital One?

Any other helpful information would be appreciated.

The only relationship I have with them is the Target Red card that they manage. I realize it is not a true relationship, but that might be good. My profile has improved since I got the Red Card so if they have any of that information on file and see my scores now I should be OK. (Unless they hate inquiries, I have just gotten two new cards; one from Chase and one from Citi. I also have some inquiries from app'ing for an auto loan.)

What are your scores? The Td manager told me they only look at your score 🙄 Which makes no sense. She said the magic number was either 670 or 680.

Well if that is the case then I should be 'Golden'. I have a 760 -780 FICO score, depending on the version. One of my cards gives me the FICO Bankcard 8 and that score was a 780 last I checked. Even if it dropped a bit from two new cars and auto loan inquiries it should still be well above the 680 threshhold. I have a 750 consumer loan score, according to my car loan app.

Yeah you're good! I bank with TD. After the bonus the card is not great. I actually got the BOA cash reward card instead. I even told TD that boa puts out a better card. 0% interest for 15 months, and 3% cash back on groceries m, 2% on gas. 😊

Good luck. Not much positive things here about TD. I was lucky and got the TD Aeroplan card after a successful recon for 22k. Don't know how I got it with 30+ inquiries but I did.

To me the positive thing is that they will give me $200 for spending $500. I doubt I will use the card much after that, but hey it's a free $200. I called them yesterday and they said I was declined because I was not in their footprint. I then got back online and used another address I have in their footprint and called back and they did some verification. I almost laughed at the verification, they asked me to name any other two credit card accounts that I had. I just started naming them off. While I wasn't approved instantly at they point the lady said that it looked good and that a manager just had to sign off on it. So hopefully in about 20 to 30 minutes I will be getting good news when I call and ask about it.
