Card match tool prequal

My mother is prequalified for Amex through the card match prequal but not Amex's website prequalifier. Is the Card Match Prequalifier typically correct? Thanks

Re: Card match tool prequal

I think it's definitely not as solid as the actual issuer prequalifying you, but honestly, prequals are hit or miss in general. I almost never get prequals, and I have never been outright denied. Had to recon once or twice but never completely denied.

 

If you want a card, I say just go for it if you think you can get it (taking into account utilization, new accounts, etc etc).

The cards produced are not pre-qualifications like they are on actual card issuer sites. They are simply a list of cards that you may be able to get based on a comparison of your profile to the required quaifications for the cards. They are also issuers who advertise on the site.

Hit or miss at best. the only pre qual that i can say for sure works is cap one.
