comenity doesn't reconsider applications.  Always can apply in future after addressing letter concerns although many better cards out there than the Fuel Rewards MC.  Is there a particular reason you want this card?

That's not always a bad thing!

wait at least 31 days to reapply for the accept the pop up again. as they can turn around and say they dont accept apps within the time frame and still hard pull you.

Well i will address a couple questions from others here...

I do like the rewards with this card... am trying to up my portfolio. ... and i really didnt think w/ my bk 6/2012 i would qualify for other Gas Cards.
I just applied ... no pop up... but no HP has hit my report yet? Been 2 days?
I dont really want to re apply. ...

I have alot of inq in 2yrs as you can see but in a 12 month span very little

I would suggest making sure you are opted in and wait for a popup / preapproval. Not always true but more often than not, if you do not get a preapproval from them, a cold app will not result well.

All of the above.

Best of luck going forward.

Note that you can get Shell fuel rewards by tying in any MasterCard to your Fuel Rewards account (don't need a Comenity card to join Fuel Rewards) and then it works kind of like eBates where you get 5 cents for doing this or 20 cents for doing that - for March I filled up 20 gal for $1.29 a gal (70 cents off at the pump). Just sign up online and they'll send you a membership card for free - tie in a MC or two and rewards add up fast - I average 40 to 80 cents a gal per month. 

You are better off without Comenity's sky high APR anyway

You should look into the BP card if you want a gas card.

Synchrony is much better than Comenity.
