New regs: first time I have seen ACCEPT or DECLINE credit offer after app approval.

I recently applied for the Elan Financial Services ADVANCE CARE Select Rewards Platinum Reward Visa.

 

Once I acknowledged the terms (APR, rates, fees, grace periods, etc) I was presented with a standard application.  Once I submitted, I got back an OFFER of credit approval that showed the approved CL, the APR for purchases and cash.

 

Below the offer, it asked if I wished to ACCEPT or DECLINE the offer. 

 

I declined, because the APR was too high and CL was only $2000, and I was curious to see if this TL would show up if I declined.

 

They pulled hard on EX.

It should not appear on your CR so it won't affect your AAoA or new account ding on your score.
