I am 11/24 if everything I suspect counts does in fact count, or 8/24 if only true credit cards count, either way well above 5/24, but Cardmatch shows me nothing but Chase cards (CSP, CFU, CF), plus ..... Fingerhut, Indigo and Milestone?? That's it, no Citi, no Discover, no Amex, just Chase cards I obviously cannot get, and a few bottom-feeders??


I feel for you!  

 

CardMatch keeps showing tempting offers that would plunge me right into Chase purgatory.   Smiley Mad

Re: Cardmatch, why do you torment me so?

on that site right now i'm prequalified for every single card cap1 has, but nothing else shows up.

i used to be prequalified for fingerhut right up til i became scorable, for some reason they revoked my prequal.

Don't pay attention to "matching" sites like Cardmatch. I've never trusted any of them. They're being paid to market certain lenders/cards so the results are always going to be skewed.

 

As others said, just let things build organically. Just let time do its thing, and stop looking at prequal sites etc because it's just going to frustrate you and/or tempt you.

I don't want to beat the dead horse, becuse I know you know ... but this is the point.

 

It's not a diagnostic, period.  You wouldn't take your flat tire to the mechanic if you knew he was going to fix it by putting wiper fluid in your washer reservoir.  Don't use CardMatch as a diagnostic.
