Lost prequalied application - mailer

Hey guys, I usually throw out mailers from banks and when I was evaluating my cards I realize that I wanted to get the BBVA clear points card, but idk when they will send another one, it's been a while but I received one recently. Should I call them to see if they would send it to me again or should I cold app? Thanks!

Pre-qualified mailers cannot be regenerated or resent. You can wait to see whether another offer would be sent, if at all (provided the pre-screened criteria exists), or just apply directly.

Re: Lost prequalied application - mailer

That is the one issue with prequalified offers. If you lose the paper and did not memorize the code the whole offer is lost. It is not until the next batch that they might send you a new one which might not even be the same. The good thing though is that if you remember what issuer it is from you can cold app and they will generally guarantee an approval at a minimum.

Yes, give the telephone banking line a call

Let the agent know you misplaced the mailer. They may be able to locate your number by your contact information. If not, the agent I spoke with a week or so ago said he had extra clearpoints reservation codes available to use for phone apps. Unfortunately, I was looking to apply for the rewards card. 

 

Good luck!

And to think I used to shred those offers from just about every issuer with such disdain. That was before I knew what they actually were. Smiley Sad Shredding $$$... live and learn... Now I cant wait to see them again Smiley LOL If nothing more than to feel like there's a secret treasure to be had and only I and the hundreds of thousands of mailing targets know about it Smiley Very Happy

Re: Lost prequalied application - mailer

Omg something similar happened to me today. I received a mailer a way back from my credit union with a “11%, $5k limit” preapproval. Threw it away (bc my goal was to garden all 2019 🙄) then decided that’s just too good of an offer. Today wasted time at the branch only to be told to wait for the next mailer and they don’t know if I or when another one would go out. 🤦‍♀️ 😩😭

Most financial institutions have tracking about who was sent a prequal offer and what that offer is. Reaching out to the company would be the best bet.

Wanted to follow up on this just in case someone else experiences the same.

 

I spoke with telephone banking yesterday and the CSR confirmed my original reservation code was in the system.  So if you chucked your mailer but would still like to apply, just give them a call at the number noted above. Happy Apping! Smiley LOL
