Merrick Bank has pre-approval, but it only extends pre-approved offers via mail or e-mail, or to existing customers through their online account. Merrick Bank does not have an online tool that interested consumers can use to check their pre-approval status. And unlike online pre-approvals that may return results for multiple cards with the highest odds of approval, Merrick Bank's mailed or e-mailed pre-approval offers will be for one specific credit card.

If you wish to respond to a Merrick Bank pre-approved offer received by mail or e-mail, visit the website listed in your offer and enter the enclosed invitation code. This allows Merrick Bank to flag the application as pre-approved.

Merrick Bank pre-approval doesn't guarantee that you'll be approved for a card, but it does indicate that your chances of getting approved are very high if you apply. Pre-approvals do not affect your credit score, as they're done using a soft “pull,” or inquiry. But if you decide to apply for the card, Merrick Bank will conduct a hard inquiry, which will lead to a slight, but temporary decrease in your credit score.

Once you're approved for a Merrick Bank credit card, it should take up to 2 weeks to arrive by mail. However, keep in mind that the application process might take up to 2 weeks as well. 

If you're not tied to Merrick Bank as an issuer, you should consider applying for an instant approval credit card that you can use right away. This way, you'll get an instant decision and you don't need to wait for the physical card to arrive to make purchases. 

You can get a Merrick Bank cash advance at any ATM. To do so, just insert your card, then enter your PIN and choose the cash advance option. After that, enter the amount you want to withdraw and acknowledge the fee disclosure to receive the cash advance. 

What you should know about Merrick Bank cash advances:

• Cash advances come with high APRs: Depending on the card and your overall creditworthiness, the cash advance APR can be as low as 26.70% (V) or as high as 28.70% - 34.95% (V). There's no grace period on a cash advance so interest starts accruing right away.
• There is a cash advance fee: The fee for a cash advance is 4% (min $10). This is on top of any fees an ATM owner may charge.
• Cash advances require a PIN: To use a Merrick Bank credit card for cash advances at an ATM, you will need a PIN. If you didn't create a PIN when you applied for the card, you can request one by calling customer service at (800) 204-5936.

Ultimately, keep in mind that cash advances are really expensive. So, it would be best to avoid using your Merrick Bank credit card for cash advances, unless absolutely necessary.
