Anyone else getting retargeted from CCC's on FB?

I've gone to every pre-qual site. No offers except Discover. Now, my Facebook feed is full of ads from CC's, especially AMEX. They are enticing me with Platinum card and other offers in my feed and on the sidebar (which ain't free for them). Wonder why they would pay to target me but show nothing available in prequal. Who else is getting hit heavily?

 

I also noticed AMEX did a SP on me 3 days after I went to the prequal site. My own SP was listed as American Express 2. Theirs was American Express.

Being markted to and qualifying are two entirely different things.  As always, do not rely on prequals.

Clear your browser's cache. They are sending you targeted ads based on the sites that you have visited. Next time, go incognito.

Facebook ads are SO CHEAP. It costs 25 cents to get 1000 impressions. Yes, 25 CENTS! So they will target anyone who has visited their site. If you visit AmericanExpress.com, then you are pretty much guaranteed to get a Facebook ad for Amex in the near future.
