kbstitch Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 I have received today another pre aproved offer from Capital One different from the others I have received in this month.This one says when you apply they're going to give you the credit card number so you can use it right away online with the credit line.Does anyone know ahout this?Thanks for your attention.Kary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocDon Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Read the fine print for anything that says "if you're approved".... You'll find Cap1 (and others) like to say you're "pre-approved" to apply for the card for a credit line up to..... and then in the small print tell you they'll check your credit reports and what their minimum credit line is based on your reports (usually around $250-$300).

Guest jeeptravel Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Yes I got that letter. Unfortunately they said it needed "further processing" and that I would be notified within 7-10 days.I called two days later to find I was approved but the card didn't come (nor the number to start using "right away") for over a month.It idid come though. $500 limit.

faith67 Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 I recieved the same thing. I already have 1 card with them well I went online and got approved and got my account number and exp date so I could start using the card online. That is also the way I got my first card with them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kissinger99 Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Same here. Got an offer that included immediate use of the number for internet transactions. Went online to accept and immediately got the number. No report was ever pulled on any CRA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
