Saks/Cap 1 - Apped in the Saks store. Instant Denial. My 3rd time applying for that stupid card.
Apped a day later for the Cap 1 Venture Card - Instant approval for $20,000. Seriously?

congrats on a very nice limit!!!! Im a little surprised that Saks denied you. What were the reasons for being denied the previous times if you dont mind me asking.? I have heard people having succes writing a recon lettter to their EO offices (or is that Nordstroms? cannot remember) and then getting approved.
Wow!!!!
Congratulations on the Cap One Venture CL......

WOW! awesome CL with Cap1. Congrats!
Excellent start limit, grats on your new Cap 1 card 
Thanks, everyone!
Reasons for denial on Saks the last couple of times were inquries on credit file. They only pulled EQ so maybe that has something to do with it?
Oh, and here were my responses to the questions on the application:
How much do you spend on credit cards each month: $4000 (true)
Do you carry a balance: Rarely
Are you interested in a balance transfer: Yes (obviously, not LOL)
