    I have always gotten inquiries with preapprovals. Don't know about Chase.

    "PRE-APPROVED" TO APPLY...I haven't seen many cards that don't "PULL"...

    I tried...they are VERY strict on combining...

    VISA~VISA or M/C~M/C

    HUSBAND & WIFE can combine their cards IF [color] the names are in the same order...

    MARY SMITH
    FRED SMITH

    IF SECOND CARD IS...

    MARY SMITH
    FRED SMITH

    THEY CAN BE COMBINED...(IF THE SCEOND CARD IS FRED SMITH/MARY SMITH...IT CAN'T BE COMBINED...

    I TRIED TO COMBINE MY WAL*MART M/C WITH MY VISA...THEY REFUSED...

    Yes, they will pull a hard inquiry for a pre-approval. I had a guaranteed approval, and still had an inq. pulled.

    Right, pre-approval doesn't mean what it implies. You can get turned down. Just ask George.

    Don't believe everything you read when it comes to this stuff.

    Yes they do a hard inquire if you would respond to their offer.I got one of these pre-approved offers from chase for their platinum visa last august of 2001,and i got approved for $8200.00 limit,i also have a 15K limit on a chase platinum mastercard.I don't know what their main credit criteria is but just make sure you have got very good credit before applying for this offer.Chase is a good bank to do business with.
