The 6-18 months 0% interest offer they have going on through the end of the year certainly isn't bad.  Smiley Tongue

Yeah, some of the approvals I was seeing on another site gave me hope I would land a WM Discover card... I need to stop gambling. Smiley Tongue

 

Since I grocery shop at Meijer, I really should shoot for a Meijer rewards MasterCard. I need to improve my credit profile first, so maybe next year.

In store only, although I wonder... does "site-to-store" qualify?

I was really hoping for the Discover card, otherwise I will not use this car that often. I hope WM doesn't close accounts with short inactivity.

I need to stop gambling and go gardening.

 

What are the odds of a CLI in the next 3-6 months?


even if it's just the store card, many folks here have had them upgraded to the disco version automatically Smiley Happy  congrats btw! Smiley Happy

Re: Cant believe I applied for a Walmart card...

I want the Walmart card but my MyFico TU is only 617. TU is killing me. Is there a chance they will pull a different CR I'd I ask?

Sorry to OP for the piggyback?

You can take it for what its worth but i believe walmart TU and the myfico one are vastly different. For me scores were 100+ points different.

Re: Cant believe I applied for a Walmart card...

Call credit solutions and ask for a CLI now.  I was approved for the discover at $1k a few months ago.  The day the card came I called CS and was bumped to $5k with no issues at all, probably could have gotten more.

Re: Cant believe I applied for a Walmart card...

I started out with the store card and I just stopped by once a month and bought some soda or water or socks or whatever to keep it active. After a while, they will upgrade it to WM Discover and then you don't have to shop there anymore.

I applied in June 2012 (decline) and they pulled EX. If location matters, I'm in Vermont.
