BB&T Bank Soft Pull Approval on New Card ($5K Approval)

So, I read a few postings about BB&T giving new card approvals using a soft pull only. Well, I was skeptical, but it is true. there were 3 cards I was approved for. I accepted the card with zero % interest for 15 months on purchases and transfers.  Unfortunately, it was a meager $5,000, but I am happy with the soft pull  Smiley Happy

Congrats on the new card @avp99! It does seem too good to be true, but this one is a reality Smiley Happy Some folks went for (2) and even (3) cards with ease, of course YMMV. Congrats and Welcome to the BB&T Express!

 

This one has been going on since mid-April and it does not seem to be tightening up -- Congrats!

Thanks,, yes never heard of a soft pull initial approval.  while the 5K was not much, but maybe down the line I can grow it

Can't say i blame ya. Mine was a mere 4.5K in a field of 20K lines. Let's see if they are up with more reasonable CLI's once the merger kicks in full throttle.

 

Congrats! on the SP approval though. Those are pretty rare anymore for a new card.

WELL POO!

I can't even seem to find the garden let alone stay in it...especially for SPs.

SL of $5,000 with 0% for 15 months.  

Not one of my larger limits, but better than a sharp stick in the eye!

 

Congrats OP!
