DW Approved for VS Shopping Cart Trick

She's struggled with her scores and on time payments (Cap1 gave her a 30 day late after a 5 day grace period that she accidentally missed a few years ago) and her old VS card was charging her $15 a month without her knowledge, even when she had paid off her purchases. So that card had a 60 day late a few years ago as well.

 

Either way, I did the shopping cart trick with her information and it popped up! She was pretty excited as she wants to start growing her credit, and with my addiction, I'll get her on the right track with cards that she can USE, same as cash and get the benefits.

 

Instant approval for $500! Happy for her!

Congrats for DW!   VS has a good rewards structure for those that shop there (I only use mine at BBW, so I can't say I'm enjoying those same benefits)

Re: DW Approved for VS Shopping Cart Trick

Thanks everyone, I'm hoping she gets on her feet with her credit here, soon. Maybe refinance her car next year to a better rate with DCU ;]

Do they still have separate White Barn Candle Company stores?   I think most of them were just absorbed into BBW stores.
