FNBO PRE APPROVAL? Not sure

So I received a letter in the mail saying " congratulations , you have earned this exclusive opportunity and are just steps away from your new platinum edition Visa card". I don't even bank with them . Is this a pre approval ? Not sure because it says Invitation at the bottom .

@texasman07,

 

It is a pre-approval.  Not an actully approval and you can still get declined.

Check the credit database if you haven't already to get an idea of what people where approved at, limits etc..

+1, if your situation/scores are close to others that have been approved then I'd say go for it

I got the 2-4 week message last night and it can't find my application when I check the status. Did you have the same issue ?
