Prequalified offers are coming in now

I got a prequalified offer for the GM Card from Capital One.  I'm a Ford guy, so I think I'll pass, but it's nice to be at the point where these offers are coming in for decent cards.  It wasn't long ago that I was stuck with bottom-of-the-barrel cards like Credit One.

nRe: Prequalified offers are coming in now

When I was 18, I really wanted to get pre-approval offers.  Despite paying on time and in full every single time, I never got one.  Then I turned 21, got 3 new cards, and the pre-approvals flooded my mailbox.  Guess I gotta be careful what I wish for lol!  Not gonna lie though, it made me feel good lol

OMG, I know.  I applied for the BCE online with the generic "signup bonus" of a $100 statement credit for spending $1000 in the first three months.  A week after I activated the card, I get a BCE prequalified letter in the mail with a signup bonus of a $250 statement credit for spending $1000 in the first three months!  I was like "ARRRRRRGH".

 

And Discover sent me a preapproval for the More (before I converted it to the IT) after having the card already; TWICE. lol

Re: Prequalified offers are coming in now

I get very excited to see preapproval offers rolling in! At first it was junk cards and then it got to be prime lenders. I would have never applied for Amex or FNBO if they had not sent me a preapproval. Now I get prime mixed in with junk cards Cat Very Happy

Hey BTW I just received a pre-approval for the FNBO Amex.  How is this card.  The terms they sent me weren't the best so I won't  take it.  14.9 APR and 2 points for grocery and gas. Although 0% apr until 4/14.
