Deciding ge must like what they see, I also apped for walmart and approved 400.00 !!! Dont worry, im done. So happy tho!! Feels great to be on the right path.

Congrats on your approval. When I was first approved for the Amazon store card, I did the same thing with Walmart. They denied me. This was back in December. Haven't applied since. Thank you for sharing though.
