Pre-approved pop up for Orbitz Rewards Visa -- Comenity

I had to log in and fill in everything like a shopping cart trick.  So I picked a round trip ticket to Austin, Tx, with the dates, seat assignment, etc.  I listed my Hilton Amex as my preferred card for payment and then included my billing address and such.  I even added their "flight insurance" to the total and upon coming to the final checkout screen or actually before they would of charged my Amex for payment, I then got the popup for a pre approved card. 

 

When I accepted their offer, it brought me to another page to fill out a very short app and yes, they did HP EQ.   I was only approved for a dismal $2500. I did take screen shots of the pre-approved pop up and the approved screen. 

 

So there goes my fico score, meaning when I opened Ebates Sig -- they said my score was a 764 on 5/19/14 TransUnion.   Then I opened a Fuel Networks MC and now this Orbitz Rewards Visa -- my fico from EQ was listed as 701 -- ooopsie....  That's 3 cards for the month of May  :smileyembarrassed:  so goodbye 5 years AAoA too

I didn't get an actual pre-approval pop-up for the Orbitz card, it was just a pop-up saying apply for the new card. I have a itchy app-finger, so I took the HP and was approved for a 9k Visa Signature. I apped 4/24 and I did actually book a room, and all of the rewards points (and the bonus points for paying with the card) along with the $50 bonus for spending $200 posted to my first statement already.

 

FWIW, even though people have been lucky I was pre-approved for Total Rewards, and Fuel Network MC and both were HP's on EQ.
