X1 Pre-Approval

I've been seeing this card in the forums for a little while and saw that they do soft pull approvals like the Apple Card (Note, they will pull your Experian credit if you accept their offer). 

I don't need the card so I didn't accept the offer. Just had an application itch and wanted to see what I could theoretically get with them Smiley Tongue

 

Decided to post results for anyone that might find the data points useful.

 

They pulled an 806 Experian. 

 

$17,000 starting limit

19.25% APR

Re: X1 Pre-Approval

I just recently got an email from them saying I am eligible to reapply. I probably would have taken them up on their offer if I stayed in the role I was in a few weeks ago. My credit scores dont match and my income is significantly less. Oh well, I'll get some metal one day..

Re: X1 Pre-Approval

Thanks for the DP. They still using Plaid for income verification? Couldn't get past that last time because my paycheck deposits across several banks, and they wouldn't take a paystub. 

yeah, first world problem I know :-)

@CCrew, yeah they're using Plaid for income verification. I have all my deposits go to one account so it was easy in that regard but I can see how they can make it difficult if you have deposits split into several accounts

Thanks. Just for giggles I applied and let them scan an account that I put $400 into every paycheck and they approved for $5k, so have to wonder about their underwriting standards! I bailed on the app and am getting twice weekly emails to complete the app. Naaaaaaa. :-)

How does this work if you have a joint bank account with only one person depositing into it? I'm on my husband's account and his is the one with the large  deposits my account is just a recreational one for small monthly things our kids need as i only work part time with a small income. Can i use our joint account to apply?
