Could this be?!

After about 18 months of rebuilding and yearning for prime land, I finally got a "pre-screened" letter from Chase saying I'm invited to apply got for the Freedom. Could this actually be a legit offer? My credit isn't that great yet, last alert stated 647 EQ Fico and 659 Ex fako. My current util is at about 25% which will be paiby down by the end of the month. Profile summary in My signature. Could I actually be approved with them?!

 

thanks!

Re: Could this be?!

if it has the opt out notice on it that's a good sign

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Re: Could this be?!

I've seen approvals on here recently for a 3500 credit line from a forum member who had a 640 creditkarma score... this is not really a good reliable indication of whether you will be approved.  Honestly though, I think its a good sign, and Chase is very recon friendly.  I would go for it if you had less than 3 inquiries or less on your TU, EQ, and EX reports in the last 1 year.

My advice, garden for 3 to 6 months for best results...

 

Chase is inquiry sensative
