What Credit Score Do I Need to Prequalify for a Credit Card?

No minimum credit score is needed to prequalify for a credit card; acceptance chances are determined by the particular card you're applying for, your credit history, and other variables. There can be credit cards available to you even if you have poor credit. However, you should be prepared to have a small selection to choose from. You might only be eligible for secured credit cards if you have no credit history or a "thin" credit file, however some credit card issuers will take alternative credit information into account when processing your application.
