Declined for the 3rd time in the last 2 years with JCPenney!

I just don't get it but it's clearly a sign I don't shop at JCPenney and they are helping me continue that Smiley Tongue


if you got every card you wanted, who would feed your addiction? it's a big conspiracy if you ask me. Smiley Wink

I applied and got the 7-10 day message. It most likely will be a decline.

Don't feel bad... I applied with my current credit score (772), and they gave me a credit limit of... (Are you sitting down?) $124.00! Why such a low, odd amount? I can charge a WHOLE $39 dollars on it & NOT trigger a  high balance alert! Soooo I use my other cards that the interest rate is 50% lower & have some rewards for purchases.



Starting Score: 675
Current Score: FICO- 798 (02/21/18)
Goal Score: 800+ All Three

GE approves JCP Credit cards with a score of 600 and bellow but again, they do consider other factors as well

If I were you) I wait for the letter, go to the store grab a couple of jeans and have the clerk call them for me.


Someone doesn't know GE very well! (you can't recon GE) they are just a big computer system that doesn't always make a lot of sense... no biggie

 


Now, I know how GE operates. Thank you for the Tip.

At least with $124, you have an open account, and you can call Credit Solutions to request a more appropriate credit line.

I was going to garden... Honest!
