I closed my Sam's MC with a $10k CL about 6 months ago. Never used it and was trimming back cards.
Fast forward to yesterday...Was redeeming my Groupon deal for a one year Sam's membership and the guy says "You were instantly approved for a Sam's Mastercard. Would you like one?" Without even thinking I said "Sure."
Now I have a question. Haven't had any alerts about new credit inquiries, so was this a soft pull approval? Will I ever see a hard pull for this?
