Re: Any credit card applications?

I never really received anything ever despite high FICOs granted I am one of those that have tons of cards and less than 500 in reported credit other than auto/home loans.  I think really all I have received in the last year is the black "luxury card" invite a few times and SW Chase business card.  I know people that get tons of mailers, but I am not one of them.  I think I am doing pretty well with no new cards coming on 5 months as well lol.  Some people get a lot and some don't for whatever reasons.

Unfortunately, you are correct!

Re: Any credit card applications?

While I see lots of ads in media about new credit cards, I find myself wondering if those of us who are in the higher score ranges are no longer targeted for offers simply because most high-score folks (read non-myFICOers) are most likely pretty happy with the cards they have and toss most of the glossy mailers in the trash.  That said, my wife (800+ across the board) just got two last week, one from our bank (TDBank) and one from Discover.  Even if we weren't about to apply for a mortgage, both of those would have hit the circular file without even being opened.  Said another way, if either of us wants a card, we'll apply for it; to hell with the preapproval offers.

I did receive an offer for up to $30k loan from Citi today.  Not in need of a loan.

Guessing you must be correct. My FICO scores are all over 800, never that high before.  Maybe I should miss a payment or two. LOL!😁

Good one!  Smiley Very Happy

 

Loan offers I get on a semi-regular basis, but credit card offerings only come from the financial institutions I currently have cards with.
