..... it's the ollo Rewards Mastercard (boo).
I'm always thinking about the AOD 3% CB benefit possibly ending at any time. So I am constantly on the hunt for a non-rotator daily Plan B. My current Plan B is going back to my citi DC (2% CB) base card (combined with some other cards that get 3% in certain categories) but I'd love to have at least a 2.5% base card. The Alliant 2.5% is not off the table, but I think I'd rather choose the ollo Optimum MC (if it's up to me). So, I'm always looking at my CK card offers with my fingers crossed that the Optimum will be there one day. Until tonight, I have not seen any ollo cards in my CK offers.
ollo Rewards MC 2% CB gas, groc, and drug, 1% all else (boo)
ollo Optimum MC 2.5% CB all ( )
I think all ollo cards are invite only, correct?
So, while excited that I am finally seeing my first ollo card invite (with a $50 CK approval guarantee no less), I am bummed that it is not the Optimum.
Is this a good sign that I got an ollo invite at all and possibly the Optimum invite is coming one day, or not necessarily?
I don't think it's invite only any more for the Rewards version. My Credit Karma account has it available and is offering to pay you $50 if you apply and get declined for the card. I'd much rather have a general 2% cash back card with a SUB than this Ollo version.
I think it is invite only still. Don't know how reliable CK would be though, since they're paid to advertise to you.
I, too, have an offer for the Ollo rewards card. I currently hold the Ollo Platinum.

Not sure I'm following you. You can apply for Ollo through a partnership and link in CK so not sure how that qualifies as invite only as anybody can join CK. And there are several CK reviews of people being approved. Either way the cash back is kind of weak so not for me.

I could be mistaken but I do think all 3 ollo cards (Rewards, Platinum, Optimum) are invite only. It appearing in your CK offers is the 'invitation'.

You can't apply for an Ollo card directly. You need an invite, either through snail mail or via email, or through a CK link. And yes, anyone can join CK, but not everyone gets an "invite" to apply for Ollo (i.e., me. I went through my whole list of recommendations and didn't see any Ollo card). As @ptatohed said above, the "preapproval"/suggestion to apply IS your invite. But it's not available to just anyone.

I have a CK account, and I've never seen an Ollo offer.

Me either until 7 days ago. Of course it's the not the Ollo card version I would consider.
Don' forget Fordpass rewards visa that gives you 3.3% cb on upto 6000$ spend/yr. They have a Lincoln version too that you can apply separately with same features so the 2 cards combined get you to 3.3% cb on upto 12000$/yr. if you have a spouse/roommate and they apply too that takes you to upto 24k$/yr.
Just heard of the optimum card, do have the other 2 cards. Just got the rewards card with a 3k limit a month or so ago. Just showed up when I logged in, overall pretty happy with them.
