Abstract
An exemplary embodiment of the invention relates to a method, system and storage medium for pre-screening customers for a credit card at a point of sale.

If the customer accepts the invitation, a charge account is opened before a payment method is selected whereby the customer can place the items selected for purchase on the new charge account while at the point of sale system. The system includes at least one point of sale system coupled to a communications link; a server coupled to the point of sale system via the communications link; a data storage device in communication with the server; and a link to a credit information server.
