Imagine Credit Card review: Fake approval

Got mailing at my home said I was preapproved with a code. As soon as i applied-deny and it hit my credit score.
Stop sending customer fake approval just to deny and effect their credit score. Also, on their review page-I see that it edited-only good reviews then they put one negative review on every 3 pages.
Denial is not my problem-hitting my credit score is...If you don't want to approve then don't send out preapproval letters.
