Many or all of the products on this page are from partners who compensate us when you click to or take an action on their website, but this does not influence our evaluations or ratings. Our opinions are our own.

Credit scores alone do not guarantee approval for any credit card, but they are a key factor in eligibility. Users who register with NerdWallet and activate their TransUnion credit score can see their estimated odds of approval for a number of popular credit cards. Approval odds are based on your credit profile and the approval experience of other users who have applied for these cards. Issuers consider multiple factors when evaluating applications.
