Discover denial - again

[Anonymous]

Has anyone ever gotten in with Discover with a bunch of inquiries? Rejection from prequal citing too many recent inquiries for a few months now. Haven't done any HPs for 8 months, one day they'll age off & I'll probably be good with Discover but wow they are hard to get a foot in the door. 
Currently at 643, should go up to 660+ once all accounts update current (unreported) util. @ under 8%. 
Does Discover ever recon through a back door #?

@Anonymous, LOL, join the club, my scores are just a hair above yours and I too ran into the same issue with Discover; to make it worse, last fall they sent me a Pre-Approved mailer and I took the bait and was denied for that as well, and to add insult to injury, that came along with a Hard Pull.  Last month I decided to change tack and applied for a PenFed credit card, approved for $6,000!  With that card in hand, I have the requisite three cards and I no longer need/want/desire anything from Discover and will probably never apply for a card from them again, ever.

I'm pulling a pre-qualed Disco 22.99% offer with 15 inquiries and 13 accounts in the last year. EX 696 with one card maxed out 100% at 5K balance.

They're known to not be too sensitive to velocity but it seems your profile may be dirty or something.

thanks does penn fed offer prequal? Trying to avoid any more HPs... I'll go Google

Penfed does not offer pre-quals/approvals for their CC's only a few lenders do such as Cap1 for their sub-prime cards, discover and a few others mainly in the sub-prime space although Chase might as well still, but with current scores probably would be a no go with chase.  Keep working on getting scores up and working on your baddies.  With CV-19 and the downturn in the econmy alot of prequals went away
