Buckle Credit Card Pre Approval Help

[texasman07]

Hey guys,

  In checking out today on the online store I got a pre approval message from BUCKLE retail store that I have been Pre Approved for a 250.00$ card.  I accepted to take advantage of the 10% off, but I got the dreaded 7-10 day message!!! ARGH!

Anyone have any luck with this pre approval?? Or should I just say I got denied. I called CS and of course they dont' see anything in their system yet....

Oh they are WFNA right? I had luck with a preapproval from Victoria Secrets

[texasman07]

yea World Financial (WFNNB).  I thought it was a for sure!! 250.00$ low limit then got the message....Darn!

Do you have a lot of inquiries?

[texasman07]

If they Pull Experian (Which Im sure they will) YES!!

Never heard of getting pre-approval and then processing info... it's also usually just a soft, not a hard when pre-approved.... hmmm... update us.

Yeah that is weird. I was buying something on HSN for my DW and was checking out a year or two ago and got a pre-approval  @ checkout for their store card of $3500 no hard pull and was immidate.

GREAT NEWS!!!

SO HERE IS HOW IT STARTED;  I WAS SHOPPING AT THE BUCKLE WEBSITE, PUT AN ITEM IN MY CART ( A 25.00 WATCH) WHEN I GOT TO THE SHIPPING INFO PAGE, I IMMEDIATELY GOT  A WINDOW POP UP THAT I HAD BEEN "PRE APPROVED" FOR THIER BUCKLE CREDIT CARD AT A 250.00 LIMIT.  I CLICKED " ACCEPT OFFER" IT TOOK ME TO A PAGE TO VERIFY SSN AND DOB.  THEN I GOT THE DREADED "7-10 DAY" MESSAGE.  THOUGHT I WAS DOOMED.

TODAY I CALLED-LOW AND BEHOLD THEY JUST NEEDED SOME TIME TO VERIFY MY ADDRESS SINCE I MOVED IN THE PAST 30 DAYS!

APPROVED 250.00 CL.

WFNNB HAS BEEN GOOD TO ME.  I HAVE AN EXPRESS STORE CARD SINCE 1999- THEY REMOVED 2 LATES I HAD BEFORE AND NOW IM UP TO 2160.00 CL

Do you know if they did a hard pull?

[texasman07]

They approved me with a soft pull!!

Maybe because I already have an account with WFNNB-They can access my records without a full hard.
