Re: BB &T pre approvals

Congratulations on your preapprovals! Seems like the Spectrum Cash Rewards along with Bright are the most popular from what I've seen around here.

Re: BB &T pre approvals

I have the Spectrum Cash Rewards card. They gave me a $6500 SL @ 18.99%. I’ve no issue with it except the payments from an external account was cumbersome to set-up.
Our credit card journey started 3/2018

Hover over cards to see limits and usage. Total CL - $578,600. Cash Back and SUBs earned as of 9/1/22- $15292.65

Re: BB &T pre approvals

Got APPROVED for all 3 last month.  Pulled the trigger on the Bright and  Spectrum.   Used 1 of them for a balance transfer since they offer one year no APR and the other I'm using for groceries.  You can get all 3 in 1 day no hard pull what so ever.  I have seen that whatever CL they give you on 1 card it will be the same for all of them.   Mine was $3500 and when I applied for the 2nd one mins later it was the same CL.   Can't beat getting 2 cards with only a soft pull!

Did I read that right, the BB&T credit cards are applied and approved for only using a soft pull? No prior relationship necessary? DP? Now that it is April do we know if that has changed to HP?

Correct, they are soft pull approvals IF they have offers and you click them from the Accept button on the offer page.  Be careful not to click out and then apply "cold" because THAT's a HP.  I tried to help my sister by telling her about it but she didn't apply then, she went back later and just applied. Oops. Also, I didn't have a relationship then but added checking and savings so I'd get the extra cashback.

Re: BB &T pre approvals

@justjac2 That's good to know! I just got approved March 24 for three cards, wondering if I should get the fourth because of AAOA. But who can pass up an approval on SP!?
