Discover prequals are usually solid with an occasional denial here and there. Good luckSmiley Happy

Hard to say:

I got this same offer but only on the cash back and gas&restaurant.  I called and spoke to a rep. who said I didn't qualify as I still had to meet my one year criteria from coming off a secured to unsecured card.  So that's next month. But the offer is there: glad I didn't jump on it just yet.

The one thing the csr told me yesterday was to wait for the mail offer.  Both my ds's get them; I do not. One does not have the solid apr....so there is a difference in their offers.  

Just wanted to share the part about me not being qualified and still getting two pre-qualified online offers.  That's all.
