Credit One

Hello,

 

I went to see last week if I had a prequalification from them and I didn't. Should I apply? Or should I take that as a denial? It was a soft pull they said that will not affect my credit.Is there a recon number?

 

Thanks,

I would not apply for such a card unless you are rebuilding.

Re: Credit One

I wouldn't recommend applying without the pre approval.   It will most likely be a wasted inquiry.

If you don't mind paying higher interest rate fees + AF divided monthly, then go for it.  However, I would first look at Cap1 or BOA 123 secured first.

As said before, unless you have bad credit and trying to build real credit, AVOID THIS CARD! based ont he fact you have a Cap1 card, you should definitely stay away from this card. Just build credit up with the current card (at least 6 months) and then app for some nice cards ( Discover, Chase, Citi, BofA, and etc.)

Re: Credit One

If your CapOne is an old orchard bank then maybe consider a secured card route.  Been there done that... served a purpose of course.

I would avoid these people like the plague.

 

Check out the Rebuilding your credit sub forum. Post what you have currently on your credit reports: Open / Closed  accounts, Negatives, Positives, Average Age of Accounts, and Inquiries.

 

Perhaps we can help lead you in a better direction.
