Just applied and approved online for 7.5K. Will follow for wife. Not sure if this helps but I already had a CapOne card and tried out their link which allows you to see whether you prequalify without pulling a score

Dont know how reliable this is, except it does as for the last four of the social. I wonder if it links back to their ssn database to find existing members and gives them a preference based on their score they already have on file....

Just a thought. Goood Luck!
