You can skip the preflight option request by using content-type : application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

AngularJS:

var user = {
   ID: 1,
   Name: 'test'
};

$http({
  url: "api.localhost/api/users/addUser",
  method: "POST",
  data: $.param(user),
  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' },
  withCredentials: true,
  }).success(function (data, status, headers, config) {
     console.log(data);
})

Web api:

[HttpPost]
public string AddUser(User user)
{
    // Do something
    return user.Name + " added";
}

Web.config
