Re: How solid are BOA pre-quals?

Never rely on prequals even if people claim that one or another is "solid".  A prequal is nevera guarantee one way or another.  If you want to determine this you need to find out when the SP was performed, what your credit profile looked like at the time of the SP and how is has changed since the SP.  Your credit reports are not static so don't assume them to be.

 

Even with the analysis above you don't know the underwriting criteria for the product so unless your report(s) is/are idenitcal to when the SP was performed you're missing a key piece of information to make such an assessment unless your report(s) changed so drastically that it's clearly obvious that you wouldn't qualify.

It is never just about the account(s) you hold with a creditor.  Your entire credit profile matters in a creditor's decision.

I agree, never trust a "pre-qualified offer... I always get them from Capital One and mailers from them, I've been denied with them before...

Re: How solid are BOA pre-quals?

Well I guess I answered my own question. I rolled the dice and applied and was instantly approved. It made me nervous because it said I prequalified for EVERY card they offer which I thought was really strange. I look forward to welcoming the BOA Travel Rewards Visa Signature to my collection. Looks like I'm gardening till at least January now. Don't laugh but I'm pretty sure my next card is gonna be that new Williams-Sonoma store card that is about to launch.
