Re: Advice, apply for 2 cards at once, maybe 3?

I had a similar question @CaptainE.  I opened 2 cards, a Cap1 and a NFCU card about a month ago.  The Cap1 finally reported.  Out of sheer bordom I tested the prequal for Disco last night and it said good try, but no thank you, as I "recently opened bank revolving trades" so lesson learned, if you're going to do 3 apps, do them before the 1st one reports, lol.  So now, I'll have to wait a bit after NFCU reports, then I can consider my 3rd, 4th, and 5th one real quick like, lol.  JK...

 

Actually, leaning towards a less is more model with NFCU per @AllZero's tip when I first signed up.  Of course, it depends on how bored I get during this quarintine, lol.

 

Nice tip on the Opt-In, @Krisking55, I may need some tantelizing reading material.  With only 2 cards, I have a ways to go.

@EverForward   NFCU is a great credit union. They can be generous once they get to know you. Lots of credit product offerings. Hope you enjoy your membership.

So I have an update, it turns out I'm pre-qualified for the both Fredoom cards and the CSP through their Chase Journey page but I don't get any pre-qualified offers in their regular pre-qualify page.

 

The offers have a set APR and the CSP even has an exclusive offer for 70,000 points.

Hi, I have an offer from Keybank for their Latitude credit card, à $200 deposit into my savings account if I get the card this month, and I'm also interested in the Chase Freedom just to get with them. I'm below 5/24 but I've been denied twice before around 2-3 years ago. I have never gotten a pre-approved offer online, I always get the screen saying that I might have opt-out from pre screened offers, which I don't remember ever doing it. 

 

The third card that I'm interested in is the Discover It Miles with a $100 referral bonus throughout all 2020, which means I could wait a bit. I've read that if it is pre-approved and it's the your second discover card, you can get with just a soft pull. 

Was not the case for My second card! and I am sure others could add to this

 

I have around 3% utilization and 2 hard inquires (and new accounts) in the last 2 years. What worries me is that both Chase and Discover seem to be taking AA against too many accounts within a short period of time. 

Would 3 be too much and should I just stick to 2 apps? 

2 apps is fine, 3 is good .. Just don't app like i doSmiley Tongue

 

Thanks!

1) Check Discover Pre-Qualify website?

2) Don't app after The Chase card.

3) I missed a lot ...others can help .. tired and going to bed!

 

Good Luck OP!


I just did 3 card inquiry - Amex BCE, Chase Freedom, Discover It Cash Back. I am just reading on the forum about AA and I have my fingers crossed. I called Chase customer service and they said I don't have a pending closure tag on my account. So far so good but we'll see. And from reading your post OP now I have to worry about Disco taking action. I am hoping for the best. Chase was my 5th account in 24mo, Discover was 6.

I mostly get DP from reddit, and I once got denied for a second Discover card without a hard pull. From some posts that I've read, they were approved with a soft pull if applying directly from the pre qualify page. 


Good for them.

 

I did this 2 months ago & got an EX HP (plus the card).

I never recieved pre-approvals on their site and zero mail offers from Chase. I have been wanting the Chase Freedom Unlimited and was worried I would not get approved. I took a shot yesterday and was approved. Don't let pre-approvals and no mail offers scare you away. GOOD LUCK!

Thanks for the advice, I'm just waiting for the updated utilization to post, which should be tomorrow, to apply and I will update on the outcome. I
