Any Experience with the Creditcards.com Pre Qualified Site?

Hey guys,

  Just to check.  I did the pre qualify on the credit cards.com website.  It said I was Pre App for the Venture card from Capital one along with 10 other cards.  Anybody have experience with getting approved off this website?

this is a card matching tool; not a pre qualifier. it only matches you with cards you are more likely to be approved for. but personally i question its accuracy.

texasman i believe it also does a soft pull for TR I believe.  Reason I say that is I ran my information through with a freeze on my TR, couldn't process the information.  DH had no freeze on his TR at the time and the cards they 'matched' him with, two of the cards he applied for and was instantly approved.  And of course there are so many factors in determining approval for credit, but to answer your original question, Yes. 

Chase Marriott Visa $25,000 | Chase Southwest Visa $25,000 | PFCU Visa $20,000 | Capital One Savor $20,000 | Nordstrom Visa $20,000 | GUCU Visa $10,500 | CapitalOne Quicksilver Visa $10,000 | US Bank Perks Visa $9,000 | Barclays Cash Forward Visa $6,000 | BB&T Spectrum Cash Visa $3,500

I thought so... I remember seeing on my TU full report one time creditcards.com under inquiries that were soft pulls.  What strikes me strange is my scores are well below 640 but yet VENTURE card comes up as "Pre Qual".

It certainly isn't a guarantee that you would be approved.

Interesting. I've used their credit card match in the past just to see what they would come up with for me. They've always listed the Cap1 Platinum and No Hassle Cash Rewards for Fair credit (it had the $39 fee). Seemed on target, as that's what I have in my wallet.

 

I tried it again just now. This time, it comes up with both versions of the Venture card and the no AF version of the Cap1 No Hassle Cash Rewards.

 

I'm wondering if this is because Cap1 gave me the $5000 CLI on the Platinum Visa that I've had since 1999. Since this brings my CL on that card up to $6400, maybe it looks life I've had a credit card with a CL > $5000 for more than three years. This is one of the guidelines that Cap1 uses to define it's "Excellent" credit category.

 

Well, no point in biting... it's not like it's a preapproval. I'm still optimistic that at some point my Platinum Visa will be upgraded to a Venture, so I'll just sit back and wait. It's quite pleasant for me in "the garden" right now. Smiley Happy

Very interesting you say that.  I just got approved for thier SONY PLAT ViSA CARD. and I was just messing around with the pre qual creditcards.com website and now I get all Cap 1 cards.  Also it says that the SONY CARD i just recieved is for people with EXCELLENT CREDIT. Which is def not me.  What gives??? Oh well I should just be happy I got approved for thier card.  They said it was also in the credit steps program to go from 500 to 750 in 5 months. Hmmmmm....
