Normally, I wouldn't even consider having her apply for this card, but are her chances approved with the targeted offer?? Clearly, the offer was generated well after the credit score drop, so presumably Cap One is not unhappy about the 720 score.
Any experiences with targeted offers would be appreciated.
I applied for the Cap One Venture card, not as a targeted offer, with about a 720 score and got an instant $10k+ credit line approval. That was my 4th card for 2019 and no issues (Discover, Marriott AMEX, Barclays about every 3 months before that).
Hope that helps.
