Is this a actual 5th 3rd Preapproval

I got this email from them.  They hold my mortgage.  Thoughts?

Re: Is this a actual 5th 3rd Preapproval

I don't know about 5/3 specifically, but usually solid pre-approval list a specific APR, not a range. Some banks will use APR ranges for pre-approved if you're on the edge of being approved. Unless someone replies with more specific info about 5/3, I would assume this to be marketing rather than pre-approved.

Re: Is this a actual 5th 3rd Preapproval

Yes, that is an actual pre-approved offer, but with 5/3 it's still subject to review for a final decision. If your profile has considerably changed since the offer was generated (i.e. when your CR listed the SP as a PRM), then potentially it's a 50/50 outcome. There have been denials even with offers like these.

That being said, if your profile is solid and can support the approval, go for it.

That's funny. I got the same exact offer from 5/3 in the mail today. I only have a checking account with them that's been open since January.

I got that same offer in the mail today.  I have no relationship with 5th 3rd.  I, too, would be interested in what kind of credit limit you get if you get the card.  0% for 15 months sounds interesting.
