Despite some misgivings around here about store cards in general and the Gap/BN/ON CCs in particular, I decided to app for it this past weekend while doing some holiday shopping. The in-store app process was super quick and easy, and in no time I was approved for the Gap Visa! I was more than happy to stack the 25% discount on top off the specials that day and also proceeded to make a few purchases (with another coupon!) at Banana Republic with my new account.
In addition to still being happy with my purchases (which is good sign), I got another pleasant surprise when I logged in to CK today. The day of, the person gave me a printout saying my CL was $1,000, which I found perfectly reasonable. Apparently though the new account just started reporting to the CBs, and CK has my CL at $2,400! Granted I haven't actually recieved the card yet and need to verify the CL, this still made my day. I know a $2,400 starting CL isn't much to a lot of people on here, but as someone who's only really gotten into the credit game relatively recently (~10 months), this is pretty big. I can only hope that the general wisdom regarding generous CLIs from GE holds true as well.
On the whole, if this is any indicator of how my relationship with GECRB/Gap will be, I couldn't be happier. Relatively easy approval, quasi-guaranteed TU puller, 5% back at Gap and partner stores, coupons and store specials up the wazoo, periodic 2x and 3x points on out-of-network spending--really what's not to like?
I just have to make sure I PIF every month and don't go crazy with the after-Christmas spending. 
Congrats
Nice CL, Congrats!

Congrats! I as well hope GE is generous to me in 2 months!!
Thats great!! My sister has AMERICAN EAGLE CC, OLDNAVY CC, AND MACYS. Good things about hese cards is that you can Upgrade AE and ON to Visa once you qualify, and you can convert your macys into an amex. Lucky for you you got the VISA right away! Congrats!
Discover IT $2,600- First Premier MasterCard $1,000- Dillards Store Card $300- Fingerhut Advantage $200CONGRATS!!
Thats actually not a bad CL to start with GE, they usually give very nice CLI's.
Congrats! Sometimes when you're approved in store, you get a temp CL, which is probably what the $1k was. The $2400 is likely your true CL. GEMB is known to be super-fast as reporting new CCs to the CRAs.
Definitely keep in mind CLIs, but it seems they don't CLI their visas like they do the store cards every 4 mos. Still GEMB is generous with CLIs, so i wouldn't be surprised if you were at $4k in 6 mos.
