I got a preapproved offer yesterday from Merrick so I decided I'd put in for it. I use to have a card with them and loved having it until I burnt them about 9 1/2 years ago. I paid it off from some collections company or something later. Anyway, I was hopeful that they hadn't blacklisted me so went online to apply. When I hit submit, it didn't take 5 seconds to come back denied. Am I blacklisted?

You'll have to wait for the letter. I dont know if a rebuilder lender like Merrick would hold the grudge for 10 years
Perhaps something changed on your CR from the preapproval time to now, or maybe it was just a marketing offer and not a real pre-approval
Anyway, your AA letter should explain the denial
