Credit Card Approval Odds: Analyzing User-Reported Credit Scores

Credit scores are an important factor in the credit card approval process. For that reason, we collect credit score data on credit card approvals and denials from online forums and websites as reported by users.

Below, you’ll find that data by credit card. Please keep a few things in mind:

  • Credit scores are just one factor in the underwriting process;
  • Credit score requirements for a credit card change over time;
  • Our credit score data is believed to be accurate but cannot be confirmed;
  • The credit card issuers have not reviewed or approved this data;
  • We have relatively little credit score data on some cards. In some cases, we have just one data point.

Important: The Credit Score dropdown filter below is based on the lowest approved credit score we can find for each card.
