No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
New Amex customer, since March.... While I am not ready for a new account, I am considering adding a new card, if I can, in November. I am particularly interested in the Blue Cash Preferred or the Blue Cash everyday.
When I visit AMEX site from safari browser on my phone they show 18 cards on the "all cards" view. While logged in on my regular browser only 15 cards show. When I hit the pre-qualified link all 15 cards show, but without any designation as pre-qualified. The Blue Cash Everyday is the only one with a single interest rate. The Blue Cash preferred doesn't show up at all. Not sure what the other 2 cards that dont show are.
Basically I take this to mean I am not pre=qualified for any of them. I guess my question is, why are three cards eliminated from the view, and why does the BCE have a single interest rate if I am not pre-qualified?
My guess is, the BCE only has one interest rate available. Can anyone confirm this?
Thanks!

BCE shows me 15.24% - 26.24%. When you click Apply Now, does it say Expand Your Membership it pre-approved?

I haven't clicked apply. It shows only 22.24%
If it says you are "Preapproved" it is usually "almost" a gimmie, if it asks you to "expand your membership" don't apply.

To answer your other question, I show 18 cards whether logged in or not. If you click Applying Now, which takes you to the screen where you just enter your income, it will say if you are pre-approved or not. If you are not pre-approved, it will say Expanding Your Membership with us is easy, or something along those lines. Appears with a single rate you are pre-approved.
I clicked apply, an no. It was an app with the hard interest rate. That is what I figured.
Still curious about the refined list of cards, 15 vs. 18
Have you tried under incognito mode without logging in? It's only going to give you 2 responses -
1. Sorry, we were unable to match you with any pre-qualified offers at this time. (I put my info. here, currently have 2 cards with them)
2. Congratulations, xxxxxxxxx! You're pre-qualified for these offers. (My sister info. here, currently have 1 card with them)
If you're pre-approved there, I take it as a solid affirmation. Best of luck!

Still odd that it has a hard interest rate showing. Did it say Expanding Your Membership at the top of the page? Just a thought, but are the other 3 Delta Co-Branded cards showing available?
To see if you're actually pre-approved for a card, you need to select the specific card, then click the "Apply Now" button.
If you see a comment stating "Mikesonthemend, you are pre-approved! Get a decision in as little as 30 seconds" you're are obviously good to go. If the comment states "Expanding your membership with us is easy" then you're not.
Instead of using the View Pre-Qualified Cards link, click on Menu > View All Cards > and select the one(s) you're interested in. Then click the Apply Now button and see what it says. You can use your browser's Back button to leave without actually applying.
Amex has a dynamic website; if you recently applied for a card and were denied then that card is removed from view when logged in to your account for either 30 or 90 days. Also, certain cards will not be viewable when logged in if you're not pre-approved for them.

Yep, expanding with a single rate.
Yes the other Delta cards show, and are "featured" cards. Well the were, this time I got:
Clicked apply and:
same single interest rate
