I have never had a chase credit or checking account before. Just signed up for the checking account for the bonus miles and when I was in the branch the next day, I got this same thing - you are pre-approved for the continental onepass card with 25k bonus + 5k miles for auth. user.
The bank rep + the bank manager both told me that since I was pre-approved and if I sign up for the credit card at the bank - that it would NOT result in another hard-pull on my credit report. I am of course weary that this is not the case, but was wondering if you had the same experience and/or monitor your credit to see if they did do a hard pull or not?
ps - the only thing is that online you get a $50 statement credit for that card, but that was not showing up as a published benefit on the card offered at the bank. All other rewards/benefits were the same.
