    How do these work ? I know once you hit the submit button your credit is screened and a decision is made (approved or wait 7-10 days for the decision). Is there some cutoff score like 750 or more and you will be instantly approved for some cards ? I never get instant approvals, but I usually get cards I apply for after a week.

    IT'S ALL SMOKE AND MIRRORS...I have come to the conclusion that some banks operate in a VERY NARROW RANGE OF SCORES...maybe 600-675...lower (NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR THEM)...higher (TOO GOOD FOR THEM).

    some banks have instant approval

    things they check online:

    exact match of address
    (good score of course)
    exact match of name
    reverse lookup of telephone #

    Things that red flag you:
    many inq's
    Many names or AKA's
    Address doesnt match perfectly as report pulled
    SSN Alerts
    Phone number is cellphone/business etc.

    etc.
