Whats goin on everybody. I have a question that I not quite sure about. Ive seen preapprovals in my mail for mths now but its only from subprime banks such as credit one, indigo, etc and anyone else who sdecides to start a bank or lending but never the larger banks. As you can tell from my sigs, I have accounts with a few big banks and most came from cold apps wheni knew my score and files were strong. Back to the end of 2018 where my scores were all low 700's to where they sit now, still no big bank mailer offers. Ive heard about public records and opting in, sign up for different grocery store rewards and so on and so on. Since im getting the small banks mailers, doesnt that mean Im opted in? And I only get email preapprovals from the banks I have now. What am i missing or do I have to hit a certain score bracket?
@PlyrStar93- thats how i got my disco in July. I read on here about mailers from various different banks and was just wondering if i needed to do anything or missed something. but appreciate the info!

How's your exposure / DTI levels? I see you have AUs reporting. 19 TLs in 24 months + 5 installment loans may be a flag also for the Big Boys. You may want to double up on the bank offers from the existing ones if theyre Brand names like Chase, Disco and definately NFCU. Maybe cut loose the baby CLs youre holding onto. Nothing screams rebuild alert like "Credit One" I'm not knockin cause im a rebuilder. Hey, if I were you I would dance with the one I brought and build heavy with NFCU (Plat/Flagship), Disco, Cap One (Savor/Venture). Can't sneeze at those choices. You already have Chase... whose missing? Amex?

You have 44 HP pretty evenly distributed across all 3 CRAs pver the last 12 months, 5 installment loans, and a collection of mostly low-limit cards. That isn't a profile that prime lenders are going to be highly motivated to extend preapproved offers of credit to as it screams a pattern of aggressive credit-seeking behavior.
You need to stop applying for additional credit and work in general on improving your scores. If you do that you may start seeing preappovals start to trickle in after 6-12 months.
Definately slow your roll if youre looking to add another Chase anytime soon (5/24) unless you already blew past that. Even so, like you said NFCU is the heavy hitter next up to bat. No one crushes harder than old Navy. Surprised you didnt go 3 for 3 with BBT. I know if they offered those SP Approvals in all 50 states they would have ran out of plastic and started handing out I.O.U's You may even want to think about letting go of some of the AU's once NFCU blesses you to clean up your profile a bit (space wise). Your foundation is looking pretty solid. I dont think you need the lift like you did earlier in the build/rebuild.
