Best buy store card requirements?

[Jesster]

I'm looking in the near future to buy a TV. I'd love the 0% deal at BB. What is necessary to get the BB store card? Can this do it?

My credit file looks like this:

AS OF LAST WEEK

EQ MyFico: 657 

TU via Amex: 711

EX (via Cap1) 738

Kay card opened 8y4m ago 0 bal Closed, inactivity

Cap1 700$ opened 6m ago 0 bal

Amex Green opened 1m ago 65$ bal

Local CU $500 LoC opened 1m ago. 0 bal

AAoA 2y.

2 Med collections over 3y old. (EQ only)

3-5 inq.

Give it to me straight...

 Equifax was pulled when my score was @ 630  7 or 8 months ago.   

      I received the HSBC card with $750 limit.   

          No interest for 18 months if paid in full before then. Hope this info helps

HSBC is the only card to get unfortunately, no more new applications run through Chase.  :/

I got the garbage Program B (no CLI, EVER) for $600 even with the scores in my sig.  Best buy lost my business to Amazon with GEMB because they can't pick a normal bank.

I'll tell you like i tell everyone else:

Apply in-store and know the amount of the purchase, as there is a spot to put that on the app, and they enter that into the computer with the app. 

I applied for my second BB card in mid-2010, and received $3600 limit (now $4700) with similar EQ score.

eta:  Actually my EQ was around 674, and I also did not have any collections, so YMMV.  I didn't see that until just now.

Slightly off topic: if you apply for an Amazon store card, they have a 24 month no interest deal on HDTVs. Just something to consider.

Good idea Andre. Just app'd for Amzn store care. Approved. $$1700. Thanks for the advice!

Much better choice.  That's how I replaced BB, generous CLIs on this card from what I hear, plus no dealing with HSBC.

Congrats on the nice CL. Glad I could help!

I got approved in March 2010 for $1,000 with scores around 630 and at least 10+ inquiries on all bureaus and no baddies, just got a increase 2 months ago to $1,200. AAoA 8 months Im a 19 year old student. At the time they had 36 months on purchases $599 and up no interest financing.
