Re: AMEX tells LIES!!!!!

 

It's not clickbait, it's just an Approvals thread that got lost and wandered into the credit cards forum. Amex couldn't preapprove her for any cards, then gave her two! Some people could benefit from this info. Especially the later post that Amex only soft pulls apps once you have one of their cards.

Re: AMEX tells LIES!!!!!

When you post Amex lies and post a pic of no pre quals could be found and say nothing else, what is one to conclude? So yeah it was click bait. After weeding through the posts only do you find out what op's point was. So yeah to me it was click bait you don't think so that's your opinion just as mine is mine.

Re: AMEX tells LIES!!!!!

As a reminder, although the OP's post was a tongue-in-cheek description of the "accuracy" of the AMEX pre-qual link, we still need to remain on-topic and remember our FSR guidelines on the Forum  --SE

Re: AMEX tells LIES!!!!!

I must admit the title was misleading and when you only see the pic, a little confusing but eventually you get the gist. Having a lol probably would have eased the seriousness but at least we now understand OP point. You just know if it concerns the big boys , or girls if you'd like, AMEX or Discover, its gonna draw attention on this forum as most either have had or want products from them. By posting LIES!!!! i would assume most of us would be very interested in the info as it could pertain to current past or future endeavors wiyh Amex. Congrstd on thr 2 Amex csrds by the way Smiley Happy

Re: AMEX tells LIES!!!!!

Except we still get to see "Amex Lies" in the forefront. Not sure how that helps anyone..

Re: AMEX tells LIES!!!!!

I was searching hard to see if I missed something in the initial post. But what the OP was trying to say, I already knew was not the case, just from various threads I've read here, with approvals without having a pre qual.

I don't have Amex yet, never applied, but probably will soon and it is nice to know it is a SP after your intial card if denied.

Page after page of complaining. Get out from behind the computer and go outside, people! OP, for what it is worth, I understood what you meant right away.
