Did you ever check you online boa account for pre-approval on a card under the offer tab ?

Join Penfed and after you join , app the Promise card.

Then head over to chase site and do their pre-qualifier and get a freedom card.

Then go to Citi and grab a double cash. (Click my name and go to my thread from last week that shows you how to get the Double Cash for 0% for 15 months )
And there you have it !!!

Thanks for the reply. I only plan to app for one card. Dont want to crash my aaoa and credit score to much. 3 new cards would probably drop it a lot wouldnt  it  ? Now with pen fed can anyone join them and should you be a member before applying for a credit card ?

Re: Bank of america CC question and Citi Pre approval question

Yes anyone can join. Just a small donation gets you membership. Join then app the products you would like. And no those few cards want tank your AAOA like THAT ...I would just request a credit li.it increase on my current card. Ask for $20k. And also ask for a APR reduction thru csr and also ask about upgrading you card.

I would definitely go after everything I listed in previous message. But of course your choice .

I just went to Bank Of America and checked and i dont have any offers showing so I did the pre qualify thing and they recommend the cash rewards card. Didnt say nothing about prequalified though. Just said recommend. Is that how they word their pre qualify offers on their site ?

 

Not sure if I want to mess with bank of america though because I have been with them 3 years all most and not got a single credit increase. They are the worst CC I have right now.  Is PenFed membership quick process ? I may give them a shot.  The one i'm leaning teh most toward is citi since they say i'm pre qualified for all the cards i checked out. Wonder they if they would give me a decent limit of at least $5000 ?

Re: Bank of america CC question and Citi Pre approval question

BOA pre-qualified thing is for entertainment purposes only. Not solid. Yes penfed will take you 15 mins from start to finish and is very simple. I think your approvals will be extra nice !!! Look over penfed CC and see which is good for you and the same with citi.... if your wanting citi double cash. Read my thread about it from last week. Click my name and find it. " citi double cash 0% 15 months is still alive "

I say give things a shot and let us all kinds of how it goes ..

Re: Bank of america CC question and Citi Pre approval question

Another card I was thinking about is the Amex everyday card but their site shows nothing for me. Which chase does also but they send me offers in the mail all the time.

Do you all think I would have a good chance of getting the Amex every days cash back card ? Creditchecktotal shows my EXP as 712. I think that is fico 08 they provide. Any thoughts ?

Re: Bank of america CC question and Citi Pre approval question

I just pull the trigger on the city simplicity card and was instant approved for $2400. Not the limit I was hoping for. Do you think they wil reckon on that limit ?
