Were you waiting for a better APR because it's based off of what the Credit Limit will be? ![]()
I check Cap One prequal weekly. It's been the same QS1 and Platinum for a year now. Of course I don't have as good of scores nor have I taken a big jump recently. This just lets me know that when my scores get into the 700s and I check again they will offer me only platinums w/ AFs all at 50%+ APR. ![]()

LOL... Nah, I'm just expecting a lower APR due to my score update, and what's happened is the opposite, that's all. ![]()
I find it a bit ironic that when I was supposedly "riskier" they gave me a better offer; I'm only sharing as a data point.
At some point I might app for a Venture to get the bonus and a lower APR than I have now, but there's no hurry. ![]()

Glad you feel that way about me ha
Of course I do!
Call the credit analyst at Citi. Could be a verification problem. They are getting a little weird with those lately.

Many people would, but I'm not messing with that one. ![]()
I've been at the same address forever, and my reports are now spotless (score they pulled was 750+) so there's little reason for them to be concerned unless they have an issue with something from the past. If that's the case, honestly I don't care to discuss it with them - I'll just take their denial.
If it's a verification issue they should be sending me a letter stating such; if that happens I'll respond and let it move forward from there. ![]()

My pre qual offers finally did change, but in a better direction, which seemed like should have happened long ago. Even though, I'm not planning on applying because I don't want the 3 HP's.

I agree the triple-HP does tend to make one truly consider if they want the card or not (at least it should). ![]()
I took the triple pull last spring because I genuinely wanted a QS Visa, so it was worth it. For me to take another triple pull I'll have to have a pre-qual for Venture, and even then the APR will have to be considerably lower than I currently have on my QS. In that case I would do it, because I would get the new account bonus, a lower APR, and get to combine my existing QS into the new card - making it worth it.
Without a prequal it's just not worth the risk, especially considering there are other cards around with nice bonuses that only require one HP. ![]()
