In addition to tools like CardMatch, prospective Discover cardholders can check for prequalified offers on the Discover site.

The Discover prequalified offers tool asks for a bit more information than similar products from other issuers, having potential applicants enter information such as their annual income, whether they own or rent their home, whether or not they are a student and the other bank accounts they currently have open. You’ll also enter basic identifying information like your name, address and Social Security number.

Don’t worry – all of these additional questions are designed to help Discover better match you with cards that align with your lifestyle. You’ll still only have a soft pull to your credit, and it won’t affect your score.

Other ways to prequalify for Discover cards

In addition to prequalified offers online, Discover might target you for a prescreened offer by mail. Next time you get a letter from Discover, check for a good card deal before tossing it.

Depending on how you apply for a card, Discover will occasionally offer different terms and conditions. That means you might be able to score a better introductory offer if you are targeted. Be sure to check out the details of your prequalified card offers closely before applying.

Boost your chances

If you check Discover’s site only to find you aren’t prequalified for the card you wanted, don’t fret. You can work to boost your credit score and better your chances of scoring a top offer.

The best way to do this is by making consistent, on-time payments on your other accounts. Additionally, you should keep your credit utilization low. If you don’t have enough credit history, consider becoming an authorized user on a family member’s card. Just remember that the primary cardholder will still be responsible for payments being made on time, so you should be responsible about using the card.

for students. These are typically issued to applicants with less credit history, and their rewards are top-notch.
