Thanks for this post. Just the opposite for me. It's been awhile since i checked the Prequal Site myself so i fill it in and now, Crap!!! After 6 months of having Freedom too, now it shows BOTH Slate & CSP!
Someone might wonder why i'm expressing disappointment. It's because i been laying low waiting it out for Sallie Mae in March. If i add another TL i'll be in for another battle with Barclays interrogator team again and have to explain "why i opened so many recent accounts" all over again. Last approval was just in Dec for Ebates. Crap!!
See how everything always works out?

If you went for the Ebates that recently, I'd push your SM App to June.

If it was just the one card added, I wouldnt worry about it much. I am not good at remembering posts, but if you recently did some sort of app spree before that, I would also wait 6 months before you tried barclays again.

You want that CSP don't you
.. My offers just went away today for the Slate on the site... Not sure how often they update it.. Those things are golden in my book
Just for the heck of it, I tried the Amex prequalified site every week to two weeks. Always came back with nothing. Tried it again on 12/30 - still nothing. Decided to drapp for ED, despite the prequalified results. Instant approval for $11.3K. Just because you don't get an offer doesn't mean you won't be approved for a card.

Oh I agree that is how I got in with Amex... Still makes you feel more fuzzy knowing you are on their radar and they are softing you, least for me.
They had been SPing me for quite sometime - just never sent any offers. My guess is enough time had passed between my BK and bad record with them that I had earned a second chance. My record is unblemished for almost eight years, and I have been a heavy credit user for the last 2 years.
