Questions? Answers.
What happens if I'm not approved for a Tilt Credit Card? Does this affect my credit?
When you submit for pre-qualification, there's no hard pull on your credit and no credit impact. If you pre-qualify, you can submit a full application, which does involve a hard pull and could impact your credit.
If you're not approved right now, you can reapply after 30 days. In the meantime, a Cash Advance or a Line of Credit may be a better fit.
Which Tilt Card is right for me?
Tilt Cards are for every type of credit-builder. The Tilt Engage and Motion Cards are great for people who are new to credit or rebuilding their scores. The Tilt Essentials Card is great for everyday expenses and earning bonus cash back.

How does a Tilt Card help build my credit?
