My first non sub prime offer!

I got my first preapproval offer, that was not from credit one or fingerhut, for a  bank of america cash rewards Visa yesterday. They wouldn't even give me a secured card 6 months ago eventhough I've been banking with them for 10 years! I don't think I'm going to take it because I just opened 2 new cards NFCU cash and amazon Visa, but I'm curious to see what they would offer.

Re: My first non sub prime offer!

does the letter shows APR range ? if its like 10.99 to 23.99% then its not golden pre approval but if it says 17.99% with no range then its golden.

this siggy line is updated on 6/26/2025!

Re: My first non sub prime offer!

If its a good card maybe try your hand. I dont have any real experience with Boa as ive only been with their BetterBalance Rewards mc for 3 months but i like my experience so far. They gave me an increase after only 3 months, with a hp for sure, but it seems fair and they let me know what they are looking for and what i qualify for at the moment. I look forward to continuing my relationship with them and one day soon look to close my Fingerhut( no bad feelings with them, they help in your rebuild nicely). You seem to have 2 nice creditors in NFCU and Chase, maybe the Boa can help your diversity. Best regards in what you choose to do Smiley Happy

Whats funny is finger hut approved me awhile ago when my credit was bad.. now that I am closing in on the 700s (one is 719) they flat out denied me lol **bleep**. oh well. I only applied cause they had something in their catalog I wanted lol got it off amazon for cheaper.

It was a solid APR offer, not a range.

Do the subprime offers ever stop coming?  Every so often I'll get something from First Premiere and I find it offensive.  Then I shred the thing and it feels good. Smiley Happy

I still get a subprime one every once in a while. But they have really slowed in the last year or more for me.
