Pre-Approved for Merrick Double Your Line BUT...

I've been rebuilding my credit for a little over a year and have had great success with it so far. Last week I received a pre-approval offer for Merrick Bank's Double Your Limit, with what I think are probably some of the best terms they offer: No annual fee$1250 limit, to double in 7 months if conditions are met0% interest for 12 months19.45% thereafterI had decided to accept this offer as I really want to close my CapOne Secured, but there's one problem... They ran their original soft pull in May, but I just barely opened an Amazon Store Card. I checked on MPM, and my scores have fallen almost 40 points across the board since yesterday. Honestly I'm pretty surprised the hit was so drastic; I expected there would be some decrease due to the inquiry and the decline in Average Age of Accounts, but 40 points seems excessive. It's probably because I made a purchase on the card that brought the utilization up to 32%, but my overall utilization is excellent... Anyway, that's not the point. The point is, I'm afraid to try to accept the offer now. Has anyone been offered terms like these with a lower score? Mine was about 710 when they pulled, is now 670. I already made a payment that brought my Amazon utilization down to 23%, and will make another in about two weeks. Is there any chance my scores will rebound by the end of the month? The offer expires August 27th. Do you think if I let it expire, wait for my scores to increase, and then call they might re-extend the offer? I know it's not the very best card or anything, but it would be my first granted unsecured, and my first with an interest rate under 20%. I'm still very timid about applying for cards, even with my credit being improved (though less so now lol) so the pre approval made me feel a little more secure until I checked MPM. Now I'm just kind of bummed Thanks in advance for the feedback.

It's my understanding that Double Your Line is Merrick's credit rebuilding card. They have a secured version, and unsecured which is invite only. The invitations often have different APRs and fees based on the soft pull the do for the invite. This was the card and terms offered to me at 710, which obviously they won't approve at 670. Ignore me, I'm an idiot... I thought you were saying my scores weren't good enough for Merrick so I was confused! I like the Quicksilver, also like the Chase Freedom, I'm just worried my scores aren't high enough for either after this recent hit.

Question about pre-approval for new construction

I am interested in doing an FHA loan for a new construction home. The builder allows buyers to put down only $2000 upfront if you get pre-approved through their preferred lender. My question is do we have to have ALL the monies we need for down payment and closing costs in the bank before the lender will do a pre-approval? We still need to save a bit but I know we will have everything by the time the building is completed and it's time to close on the loan. Any folks out there with experience that can help me understand how it might work? I don't want to be premature on applying for the preapproval but I'd love to start the process soon if possible.

I am a sales counselor with a national home builder. We require preapproval with our lender in order to sign a purchase agreement. AT signing we require an earnest money deposit [not to be confused with downpayment for mortgage purposes] and it varies from $3,000 to $10,000. The EMD is kept in escrow and is returned to the buyer at the closing table. A downpayment is how much money the buyer is bringing to the closing table and that determines how much mortgage money your lender will deliver to the closing table. The EMD can be used for downpayment as it remains the buyer's money. At our discretion, we will allow a buyer to sign a purchase agreement and allow them to save for the downpayment over the 5 months of construction time. It is always preferable that the downpayment money is already sitting in an account up front ... but that is not always the case. It reallly depends on the builder whether or not the downpayment has to be already available at preapproval time.

Raising Score for Mortgage Pre Approval

Hi, not sure if I posted this under the right forum but here goes....I tried to apply for a pre approval for a mortgage. Looks like I have been monitoring on myfico the wrong version of my scores the lender would use, I was suprised at how many points lower they were. (since then Ive figured out how to see the additional versions on here to see which scores the mortgage lenders use.) Anyway back to my question...it looks like my median score is a 664 my husbands is possibly 654-665? Not sure, Loan officer will not disclose that to me. HOWEVER my question is how can I increase my credit score quickly? In about 30 days? Pay credit cards down to under the 50% line? if I do this next week they should all hit my report again by the end of the month. I just wanted to see if anyone else did this and if it worked? The loan officer said thats probably what was hurting our scores was the ratio of usage on a few of my cards....Thanks!

Bulldogmom, what type of mortgage loan are you applying for? 680 minimum score is higher than most lenders minimum scores if you are looking for the run of the mill conforming non-jumbo loan.its a 100% first time homebuyers loan offered through a credit union. theres no PMI requirement, however their credit score requirements are a little strict compared to other loans because the mortgage stays with them & isnt sold supposedly so they are taking a risk with you. its 100% financing though no down payment BUT you have a higher interest rate (i guess thats where they make up for the 100% financing?) So my median has to be at least a 680. My scores are 637, 664, 665. so right now my median is 664. Still 16 points away, however my husband and I have a couple cards where the usage is higher so im going to pay that down to get them to 45% usuage verses the 90%, 80% & 70% they are at right now

App for pre-approved card or wait?

I have a C1 platinum 800 limit since april and a C1 Quicksilver - the one with the annual fee - $500 limit that I just got in the beginning of July. I know I should have at least 3 revolving credit lines. I would like to get the third one established sooner rather than later and then start to garden and age off the multiple inquiries I have while working on some other areas of my rebuild. I want as much time as possible to recover from the hit I assume my score will take when I apply and to age the account before we start searching for mortgages hopefully next spring/summer. I check for pre-approvals all the time because I'm a bit obsessed and I finally got one for the Discover it card. No other credit cards give me pre-approvals yet. Scores are 618, 638, 644. I honestly don't know if I want a discover card. I don't know what I want. The amount of information is all overwhelming and goes right over my head. I need some kind of comparison chart designed for a 5 year old to understand. (does that exist anywhere?) I'm trying to go about this rebuild the RIGHT way. But I am driving myself crazy trying to figure out which is the RIGHT card. Should I get it because I can (probably) or should I hold off until something better comes along - and how will I know what's better?

Update, from this thread: http://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/Discover-online-preapproval/td-p/3023272 "Does it say anywhere on the page.... "Congratulations, you are pre-approved for the following cards/products?" If not, it is probably the standard offer page when there isn't a pre-approval." I just tried the link again and it gave me the "Here's The Card We Found For You" with a merlot colored Discover IT.
I tried it again with the name Snoop Dogg and SSN 1234 and it gave me "Here's The Card We Found For You" with the silvery blue Discover IT card....

Approved for BBR!!!! VERY strange recon experience!!!

So, I'm kind of shaking right now. I applied for BOA's Better Balance Rewards a few days ago and was instantly denied. I then called BOA's backdoor number to speak to a credit analyst who was a bit dismissive of my attempts at a recon (understandable given the baddies in my profile) Anyway, the long and short of it is, later I got a call out of the blue from a rep in BOA's quality assurance department who more or less said that my recon call was not performed to their standards and asked if I would like my application reopened and submitted, which of course I said yes to... If you'd like more detail about this ultra bizarre experience as well as my stats for approval, see the following thread:http://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Card-Applications/OOPS-BOA-recons-Update-post-40-Update-2-Approved-for-BBR/td-p/4164655 But to sum it up, I just checked online and evidently I was approved. I then called the automated app status line to find that my limit will be $2100!!! I would have been happy with $500! LOL. I really can't believe it!!

Congrats.but i don't see why they denied you in the first place. im guessing they pulled EQ or Ex with the baddies you mentioned. But scores don't seem all to bad. Congrats. appears someone was listening in on your call. Thats great.

Is it at all possible that I can get separate bills sent to different addresses for the people on my line?

Hi Marie9312,
I understand you would like to know if it possible for to get separate bills for everyone on your line. We are not able to send them but it is possible for you to get them and print them for the ones you want to have the bills. Here's a link to help http://vz.to/1xiAkiJ. Once you view the bill, you can click the print tab and select the amount of copies you want.
Thank you!

If you take care of that card you'll be good with Barclays. I had to recon to get my first card with them, then 6 months later I was able to get a 2nd card with instant approval.

How to prepare folio for Apple pre-approval, but not visible on Android?

Quite possible that i'm just overlooking something, but this doesn't make sense for me. We have already active app in App Store and Google Play, with bunch of issues for sale. Now we need to prepare some special issue, which will go to sale next week or something like this. So i want to prepare in-app purchase for pre-approval. Now we don't have full folio, just dummy one with cover.
Workflow as per publishing guide is:
- make folio public and retail
- submit in-app purchase to Apple
- and wait.
I did it.
Ok, but what about Android? I even created in-app purchase in google play, set the correct Product ID and set as unpublished, but i still see this dummy folio on Android. I can't buy it, but i see it, and that's not good.
So how to solve this?
Thanks for fast help!

Sorry, but you don't understand my problem.
I've created dummy folio for approval. For approval, i need to set folio as public, retail.
on iPad, i DON'T see this dummy folio (because in-app purchase is not approved) and it's correct. On Android, i see it. This should not happen! Customer SHOULD NOT see this dummy folio on Android.

Approval for Document's line

Hi all,
I would like to ask if anyone encountered this before. It seems like SBO is not able to trigger the approval if we want to check each line of a single document.
Let's say I have Purchase Order with 5 lines, i want to trigger approval if there is a line with quantity > 1000 for example. I tried to write a query against POR1, but it doesnt work. I think SBO only recognize the header information of document.
is it any workaround for this issue?
thanks for your kind attention.
regards,
erwine

Hi Erwine,
As far as I know the approval procedure is only triggered by the normal SBO. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong) So it will not be triggered while adding documents by your AddOn/query etc...
Hope this helps...

How can you change your line access selection? I have found where you can change your plan selection, but can you change the line access fee or is that a set amount?

DIVAB71,
Great question. The line access fees for the account are a set amount and can not be changed unless you are going from a basic to a smartphone or vice versa. If you are wondering about adding the month to month discount if you are out of contract Ann154 has provided great information on how to access and add the feature.

Slowly but surely..finally approved for BofA

I'm new to this forum, but I have been following for several years. I really want to thank everybody for sharing their experiences and advice. I hope that my story will help others just the same as you have all helped me...n I'd like to apologize ahead for the super long essay lol ;P During my sophmore year in college, I messed up big time on racking thousands of dollars on credit card debt and losing my job. 4 accts ended up in derog (prob around 10k), so my mid 700's dropped to the low 500's. I still had a few retail cards open and good standing student loans, but I had to kiss all my major cc's goodbye. 3 yrs later, I decided to start my journey on rebuiling my credit. I received a preapproval letter from Cap1 and figured I had nothing to lose. I was approved for the Cap1 Platinum MC with an initial 500CL and 22.90% APR w/ an auto CLI to 2500 after 5 months w/ heavy util. 1 yr later, i was approved for an auto loan through Cap1 w/ 6.96% APR. Couple months after that, I applied for the Cap1 Journey Visa and was approved with 500CL and 22.90% APR w/ auto CLI to 750 after 5 months and another auto CLI to 2750 after an additional 5 months. Cap 1 upgraded my Platinum MC to Quicksilver MC shortly after getting the Journey Visa. I know lots of people have their gripes against Cap1, but wow, they really provided a platform to improve without paying any AF's. High interest, but I made sure to PIF after the 0% promotional periods ended. I'd highly recommend Cap1 as a rebuilder as long as you can manage your finances well since 22% APR would cost a lot in interest. After babysitting my credit score for a year, I was so hesistant to apply for the BofA Cash Visa. I recently saw an "invitation to apply" through my online banking and decided to jump the gun. I was approved on spot with a 500CL and 17.99% APR. I'm a bit disappointed that the CL is so low, but so glad to have a "prime" lender approve me. Hopefully BofA will do an auto CLI after a year. *cross my fingers* So after 3 years of careful planning, my score is now steady at 655 (idk my score didn't change after BofA's HP), for EXP and TU. I'm not planning to apply for anymore CC's, but starting to consider if I should do an auto refi. All of my baddies are scheduled to drop in one year, so my ultimate goal would be to be back in the 700's so that I can eventually buy a house. Of course my baddies dropping will help, but are there any other recommendations to increase my score? Thanks and wish me luck!

Hi Kiran,
    I got what you told, But are you sure double click action will not handel in SHDB recording for any transaction code ?
    I also tried all possibilities, as you suggested by using menu bar options, mouse right click actions and making changes in recorded program. If I gone through this step I can solve my issue.
    Do u face this kind of issue any time i.e. handling double click actions. Can you suggest me if any.
    Thanks for your reply.
