There are a couple of criteria that you need to meet before performing this trick. By reading this article, you’ll be able to receive more credit cards without a hard pull on your credit score and receive great cash bonuses and great offers from stores.

How to do it :

Opt-in for Credit Card Promotions - One way to check if you're opted-in for credit card promotions is to see if you receive promotions through mail. If you do receive them through mail, then you are definitely opted in. If you have opted out, you can change this by going to optoutprescreen.com.

Only Applies to Cards Issued By Comenity Bank - Comenity Bank partners with many retail stores to provide a credit card designated for that specific store. Below, you will find a list of some stores that partner with Comenity Bank.

Be Careful with Your SSN - Some credit card offers require to enter your entire Social Security Number. If this is the case, chances are that the credit card is a hard pull. Offers that only ask for your last 4 digits of a SSN are not hard pull. Proceed with caution when applying for credit cards.
