What Are Pre-Qualified and Pre-Approved Credit Card Offers?
Both pre-qualified and pre-approved credit card offers usually result from a credit card company working with a credit bureau to look at your basic credit information.
So when you get one of these offers, it likely means the information pulled by the credit card company showed that you’d be a good potential customer.
What’s the Difference Between Pre-Qualified and Pre-Approved?
While pre-qualified and pre-approved are sometimes used interchangeably, they could have slightly different meanings. That’s because issuers can apply their own meaning to these terms.
Some pre-qualified card offers could be reserved for those who meet a general credit score range. Other pre-approved offers may target those who meet more specific criteria, like the percentage of on-time credit card payments in your credit history.
