How To Get An Ally Invite

Varsity_Lu — Tue, 31 Dec 2024 21:38:50 GMT

Sitting here watching the Tony Tiger Bowl and saw an ad from Ally bank, looked them up, and discovered all their cards are invite only. I'm not saying I want one of their cards, but I am curious as to how someone would get an invite?

Having a bank account with them is one way.

I have 2 Ally cards. I've had a spending account with them for years. I think I got my first invite from them through a match on Experian, with a low 600s score. The second one was a preapproval by email exactly 1 year after getting the first card.

They're okay cards, both no AF. One is 3% cash back gas and groceries. Both are sock drawered, but they served a purpose in my rebuild.

They don't allow CLI requests, which is annoying.

I got mine after they acquired Ollo, and then later on they sent me a pre-approval for another card that was 0% (including BT) for 18 months, so I took that one when it came in. But as for current invitations, I have seen them pop up occasionally on CK.

I remember getting an invite in the mail mixed in with the junk mail many years ago when they were still Ollo. I have never gotten an invite after Ally took over. I think I am seriously outside the idea of what their customer is.

Ally showed up on my CreditKarma page the month after my BK13 was discharged (7/2023). I applied and was approved for 4K SL. I have PIF every month before due date and received one CLI of 100.00 in 18 months. The only category I use it for is the 3% at drugstores. It also gives you your Experian Fico bankcard 9 score.

Wonder if they will convert them all to Merrick Bank cards?
