• I think its a waste of time. I got "Its good news! You are 70-80% likely to be accepted for a card".
  So I applied, and it declined me! I'm not surprised, if I'm honest (and I don't want or need the credit as it happens), but I think its a fair bit misleading!
  If they do some sort of "pre-check", then they should know for sure if you will be accepted, and not just give some sort of wooley "yeah, its quite likely, maybe, that we'll give you a card".
  What a crock of 5hit!
