These can include increased bonuses over what's publicly available, bonus points for upgrading to a higher-tier card within the same card family, or bonus points for reaching tiered spending challenges. Offers can be targeted to anyone, anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>Each credit provider uses different metrics to determine who is targeted, but suitable candidates usually have <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/credit-cards\/how-to-build-credit-with-a-credit-card\/\" rel=\"noopener\">an excellent credit score<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/credit-cards\/tips-managing-credit-score\/\" rel=\"noopener\">clean credit history<\/a>, are actively using revolving credit responsibly, and are likely members of the rewards programs that they want to be targeted for.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Check_Pre-Qualified_Offers_by_Phone_Online_and_In-Branch\">Check Pre-Qualified Offers by Phone, Online, and In-Branch<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have an existing relationship with a bank, it\u2019s worth checking for pre-qualified offers. You can do this by logging in to your account, calling customer service, or visiting a branch.<\/p>\n<p>A pre-qualified or pre-approved offer means the issuer has reviewed limited information about your credit profile \u2014 often through a soft credit check or internal data \u2014 and determined you may meet the criteria for a specific card. These offers are designed to highlight cards you\u2019re more likely to be approved for without requiring a full application upfront.<\/p>\n<p>For example, American Express and Chase may display targeted \u201cpop-up\u201d offers when you log in to your account online. Keep in mind that checking for pre-qualified offers is not the same as submitting an application.<\/p>\n<p>Pre-qualified offers don\u2019t guarantee approval. Issuers will still review your full credit report and financial details when you apply. However, these offers can signal strong approval odds.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_110143\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"600\/479\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-110143 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/cell-phone-e1685831982776-300x240.jpeg\" alt=\"a person looks at their smart phone\" width=\"600\" height=\"479\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/cell-phone-e1685831982776-300x240.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/cell-phone-e1685831982776-1024x818.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/cell-phone-e1685831982776-768x613.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/cell-phone-e1685831982776-1536x1226.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/cell-phone-e1685831982776-325x260.jpeg 325w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/cell-phone-e1685831982776.jpeg 1598w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><center><em>Credit: John Tuesday\/Unsplash<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Related: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/credit-cards\/amex-welcome-offer-eligibility-tool\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Everything to Know About the Amex Welcome Offer Eligibility Tool<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Opt-In_to_Email_and_Direct_Mail_Offers\">Opt-In to Email and Direct Mail Offers<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One reason you may not receive targeted credit card offers is if you've opted out of email and postal communications. To get targeted credit card offers, make sure you\u2019re opted in to receive emails and promotional mail from your banks and loyalty programs.<\/p>\n<p>Physical mail can be especially valuable. In some cases, mailed offers may not include restrictive language\u00a0that limits your eligibility for a welcome bonus, such as once-per-lifetime rules or waiting periods between bonuses. American Express, for example, has been known to send targeted offers that allow existing or previous cardholders to earn another welcome bonus on the same card.<\/p>\n<p>You can typically find email and communication settings after logging in to your account and navigating to a section like:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Profile &gt;\u00a0Communication or Contact Preferences &gt; Email and\/or Promo Settings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here's an example for opting into offers from Chase under &#8220;Personal details&#8221; in your account.

Transferring the minimum number of points from a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/credit-cards\/best-flexible-rewards-points-travel\/\" rel=\"noopener\">flexible currency<\/a> like <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/credit-cards\/chase-ultimate-rewards\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Ultimate Rewards<\/a> or Marriott Bonvoy, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/airlines\/credit-miles-to-partner-airline\/\" rel=\"noopener\">crediting miles<\/a> when flying another airline within the same alliance, or even making a purchase through the program's shopping portal is usually enough.<\/p>\n<p>Loyalty programs want to see you investing in their points or miles before sending you lucrative offers. Again, this is not science or official policy, but it's a method that has worked for some. Of course, these methods are still subject to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/credit-cards\/rewards-card-application-rules\/\" rel=\"noopener\">the banks' application rules<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Initiate_a_Booking_to_Receive_Better_Offers\">Initiate a Booking to Receive Better Offers<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A good example of this approach is a past offer on the <a data-ccid=\"4048132\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/credit-cards\/alaska-atmos-rewards\/alaska-airlines-credit-card\/\">Atmos\u2122 Rewards Ascent Visa Signature<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> card<\/a>. When initiating a booking on Alaska\u2019s website, some users were shown an exclusive offer that included a $100 statement credit in addition to the standard welcome bonus.<\/p>\n<p>Delta and American Airlines also frequently display credit card offers during the booking process. In some cases, these offers may be more competitive than those available publicly.<\/p>\n<p>You may also encounter elevated offers when applying onboard a flight, so it can be worth comparing what's available before submitting an application.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Check_for_Targeted_Offers_With_CardMatch\">Check for Targeted Offers With CardMatch<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>CardMatch is a tool that can help you find targeted offers. It gives you access to pre-qualified offers and possibly better welcome offers than those available to the public.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll only need to put in some information about yourself and your finances to get started. The best part is that CardMatch only does a soft pull, so checking offers here won\u2019t affect your credit score.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_142080\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"750\/276\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-142080 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/CardMatch-screenshot.jpg\" alt=\"CardMatch home page to start looking for targeted offers\" width=\"750\" height=\"276\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/CardMatch-screenshot.jpg 2016w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/CardMatch-screenshot-300x111.jpg 300w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/CardMatch-screenshot-1024x377.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/CardMatch-screenshot-768x283.jpg 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/CardMatch-screenshot-1536x566.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><center><em>Screenshot of CardMatch<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<h2><span id=\"Hold_Another_Credit_Card_in_the_Same_Rewards_Family\">Hold Another Credit Card in the Same Rewards Family<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Instead of canceling a credit card outright, consider downgrading to a no-annual-fee option or a card with a lower annual fee.<\/p>\n<p>Why? You may receive targeted offers to upgrade that card later on, as the bank hopes to entice you into a more premium credit card product with a higher annual fee. To convince you, the card issuer may offer bonus points or miles that can rival some cards' welcome bonuses.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, you can't receive an upgrade offer from one Hilton card to another if you don't have any <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/credit-cards\/hilton-honors\/hilton-credit-card\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Hilton credit cards<\/a>. If you're interested in future upgrade offers like this, keeping at least one card open in each rewards family can make sense.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Final_Thoughts\">Final Thoughts<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Targeted credit card offers provide an opportunity to bag higher-than-average credit card bonuses. They can also provide offers for extra points on cards you already have. But to ensure you get these offers, you need to register to receive promos from every loyalty program and bank with which you have an existing relationship.<\/p>\n<p>A few members of our <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/Award.Travel\/101\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook community, Award Travel 101<\/a>, have reported getting their recent applications matched to higher, targeted offers after contacting the bank via phone or secure message.
