Are you new or rebuilding?

 

In the case of new, if you play nicely, you will start receiving it after 4-5 months.

And make sure you're not opting out of junk mail and/or pre-screened credit or insurance offers.

 

I have good credit and a long history, but I never, ever get pre-screened offers, even from companies I already do business with and would welcome offers from, because I'm absolutely paranoid and opt out of everything.

You can always opt in or out

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?

Possibly a dumb question, but I opt out of everything and my credit reports show this. So, I never get anything in the mail. But does this mean that I will never see pre-approval offers if I check at CC issuers' sites?
