Re: I keep getting a preaproval in both mail and email for First Premier card

you're joking right?

Why would you want FP with your current line up? Heck you could wait 3-6 months, and cold for Venture and probably get $5k-$10K easy...

Personally...I wouldnt do it. Smiley Happy

Stay far away, your credit profile is much too good for that

Anyone who says you should needs to be checked in to the nearest mental hospital.

I was just explaining this exact very thing to a friend of mine yesterday. It's a sign that your credit profile is improved and in the stages of advancing forward. I also reminded her (it happened to me the same way) to also be on the lookout in the mail for enticing offers from OneMain Finance and others who would love nothing more than for their names to show up your credit report so that when current lenders or prospective new ones see them there it will raise the red flag.

Those offers are coming to test your resolve. You have begun to establish good credit and they want to trash it, pure and simple.

 

Don't bite PERIOD! Just know that it's a good sign for your personal credit Smiley Happy

From my stepdad's experience, once you're in First Premier's radar, you'll never escape the pre-approvals. And, in his case, every time he checks online pre-quals, it seems he gets yet another pre-approval in the mail. Since he had an account before, I honestly believe that they might have something in their system that sets off when a previous 'customer' (victim, more like...) is looking for credit, so that they can get on them again...
