IMPORTANT NOTICE:
There are some really crappy cards such as Reflex, Surge, Indigo (Celtic Bank) and others such as Milestone by (The Bank of Missouri), Fortiva etc. I have not added prequalifiers for these because getting these cards with their rip-off fees are really a disservice to our society. You would be better off getting a small secured card to do your rebuild than any of these.
EXCEPTION 1:
Did not include BofA because their option is more a recommendation / marketing ploy than a solid prequalifcation ! for those still wanting to try, here is the link: https://secure.bankofamerica.com/secure-offers/public/customizedOffers/?subchannel=ECHPLN&cm_sp=Cons...
- based on information on this forum, you have a better chance if you get an offer with a specific APR, i.e for example 12.9% rather than a range, i.e (12.9% to 24.9%) -

This is wonderful. Thank you!
Links would be awesome
Waiting on a MOD to chime in on the links question. If it is appropriate, I will update the listing with links.
JP Morgan Chase has a prequal as well to see if you have any offers from them: https://www.chase.com/prequalified
Links to the official lender websites are fine.
With that said, prequal/preapprovals are kinda toys. Some are fairly reliable, others aren't even trying.
So, those inquires may go to "waste" anyway.
@waqaszm1 Edits can make the filter "think" it's a spam. I've restored your post.
Thank you ! I appreciate it -
You're welcome.
Oooooo lovely! I know this isn't a CC but LendingClub offers a Preapproval for a Personal Loan and they soft pull TU if you would like to add it?! I believe it is a HP once all is accepted but that way you don't waste a HP on a No
Most of the personal loan companies offer pre-approval via Soft-Pull - Didn't add them because otherwise post could be moved to some obscure corner of this platform where it won't help anyone ...
But on your topic, LendingClub, Prosper, Rocket Loans, Bestegg, Freedomplus, Upstart, Upgrade, Sofi, Marcus, Payoff - all offer preapproval through a softpull. It is only a hard pull once you accept an offer than you have been presented with.
