Why I don’t get pre approval offers

[CreditInspired]

OP, I don't know why you're not getting any preapprovals, but when I got my first AmX, I didn't check the prequal site. I just applied and was approved for $15K. From the stats you have posted, you should have no problem getting approved.

1) have you opted out of offers?

2) are you credit reports frozen or Locked?

3) any fraud alerts?

i think that the great myFICO posters have covered everything else.

It does if you do not already have a relationship with the lender (and even then it can be problematic).

Several members have reported that opting out of pre-screened offers affected those prequal pages as well

As others have said, I would try submitting a cold application. Given your scores, you should have a good chance of approval. I wasn't pre-approved for my Amex BCE and was approved with an EX score of 772.

Unlock your accounts and you should be fine. My account was locked when I first checked AmEx for preapproval. I got the nothing. Remembered I had my Experian locked. Unlocked and tried again. Voila, I got preapproved.

Just making sure, you've never burned Amex in the past? Even, say, 15 years ago? The reputation is that Amex holds grudges for a LONG time.

If not, I suspect it's a glitch with their site, as there is no reason you shouldn't be preapproved, or approved.

Preapprovals are not guaranteed  nor are prequals. Ive had a relationship with Amex at one point or another these past 20 years and ive never had a preapprovsl on their site , regardless of credit score. One factor is if if youve placed fraud alerts on your CRs that will take you off the list to receive credit offers. Other than that,  one doesnt need to have a preapproval offer to actually be approved. There are people who actually still get denied even with a preapproval. YMMV always
