Earlier this month I had one green star pre-approval for the CSP. I thought that was a nice surprise as I believe this may have been my first pre-approval from Chase, although I can't be 100% certain. I am uncertain because I established credit as soon as I became an adult, and I have gone long stretches without seeking or even thinking about seeking new credit. So I am not sure I have ever paid attention to Chase's pre-approvals, but I can say I havent had these any time recently or at least last 3 years.
I wonder what about my profile has changed that Chase decided they like? I have worked on increasing my score btw this past fall and now. (No derogatory history). Anyhow, here is a list below:
-CSP (first and only pre-approval for the last three weeks)
-CSR
-Freedom Unlimited
-Southwest Plus
-United Explorer
I have a Chase Freedom, and this was my very first CC ever. Quick question, since they thought it was appropriate to give 5 pre-approvals I wonder what would happen if I applied for all 5?
the list you show is what you were pre-approved for?
I'm sorry but something smells really fishy here. If you apply, be very careful about the information you give out.
Just my paranoid opinion

I fail to see the fishy aspect of what the OP received as pre-approved offers online let alone the paranoia.
This isn't all too uncommon for profiles that are on Chase's radar. I received similar offers a long while ago (some were different cards than what the OP shared), the hardest part was deciding which one(s) to pick based on SUB opportunities and my needs at the time.
A variety of the targeted online pre-approved offers (black stars/green check marks) already have the individual's information pre-filled (with some data masked), there's just a few fields to fill out/confirm and it's processed immediately.
I think we can put those tinfoil hats away on this one 😉

You said you've been with Amex for 40 years, and you're pretty much pre-approved for all their cards.
How fishy of them!
If you by fishy you mean "tempting" a person to apply for all 5 at once, then yes I'd agree it being a "tease" move on their part. Especially on the uninitiated of Chase's rules.
Then again I don't know of too many people who would even think about applying for that many credit cards all at once, though I'm sure some have thought about it for a minute.

I'm a little confused by your post, but yes- it's when I sign into my Chase account. It has the green star "just for you" pre-approvals with set APR's. I think it's normal, as I previously mentioned I have a somewhat long history with Chase as they were my first CC ever. My score has steadily risen in the last 6 months so I am sure I crossed a score threshold which probably triggered the pre-approvals.
Thanks for any concern, I always try to be cautious. Which is why I am apart of these forums so that I can stay informed!
Thank you! @SweetCreditObsession
@FinStar @Remedios I actually lol'd reading both of your posts. When I first read the be careful with your information bit I had a "Wait What?!!" moment as I thought I somehow gave out PII or a screenshot with my info or something. The things our brains can run to in a flash.
I'm glad you got those offers, I haven't seen one in a while.
If any of them would work for you, take it while they are still there, since they have a tendency to come and go.
Granted, if you do not need a card, you can always apply later, but those pre-approvals are so solid as long as there has been no recent CR changes (for worse), it would be a dang shame to let them go to waste ![]()
If I saw one, I'd threw myself at the device with " I whole bodily accept".

Yea but Chase apparently never liked me enough to pre-approve me
I am sure they will rotate around for you again. I have a CLI request coming up with PenFed, so depending on how miserable or happy that experience will be will determine my Chase boldness.
EDIT: Is your signature recent?? Just because of that I'm going to watch it right now. I love MK so much, I don't care how bad!
Signature is from last night, it kinda sorta broke my heart

I don't know, I mean what exctly were people expecting? Had to know going in it wasn't going to be Shakespeare. Having not seen it yet I can't really say one way or the other, but I do have tempered expecations just based on all previous Video Game to Movie attempts. Even though the original is so bad that it's good, I would expect that this new verison is at least in some way better. It is saddening to hear that it seemd to have missed its mark, or to properly entertain in the amnner in which it should have.
