PRE-APPROVED CREDIT CARDS ONLY OFFER
YOU A PRE-APPROVED APPLICATION

There is barely a day goes by when the mail doesn’t contain a pre-approved credit cards offer but you should never take this at face value. It is very unlikely that this means you will have actually been pre-approved to receive a credit card.

These are basically used only to attract you to apply for the credit card. You will need to complete the credit card application that will have been sent with the letter and post it off.

More and more students are being to receive these pre-approved offers from credit card companies because lenders are taking a calculated gamble
that students will be tempted to spend the money they are offered on their new credit card and parents will be forced to bail them out when the time
comes.

College is becoming more expensive and as more and more purchases are made using credit it is not surprising that students are also turning
to credit cards to help with purchases.

Students aren’t the only people being caught in the trap of credit card borrowing though, and they certainly aren’t the only ones who are finding their mail filled with pre-approved offers for credit cards.

Credit card companies aren’t just looking to people who have taken out credit card previously; they also send the same letters to any homeowner.

A pre-approved credit card does offer you the opportunity to apply for a credit card, however you should still shop around for the most appropriate
deal for your circumstances. It is slightly more difficult with a student credit card because most students will not have any credit history and because
it is there first time away from home there are usually a few incidents where the unexpected happens.
