The Coldwater Creek M/C I was pre-approved for through the shopping cart trick-and wound up calling in b/c of the 7-10 day message I received when I app'ed for it resulted in a HP on Equifax. For that I should have been approved for at least the same as Sportsman's Guide Visa. I guess when i called in it became a cold application. Did not see that one coming or I would have left it where I found it!

Not all shopping cart tricks with Comenity bankcards will be a SP, Fuel Reward Network is also a HP. Its not clear here if you actually got the card if so you should be aware Coldwater Creek is liable to file BK-7 liquidation in short order. http://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/SmorgasBoard/Coldwater-Creek-Preparing-to-File-for-Liquidation-in-Ba...

+1. The co-branded Comenity CCs tend to be HP to open, with some notable exceptions.
Well, for a $4.5K line, I think the HP was worth it.
Yeah, I didn't learn about the bankruptcy until after I posted about the approval yesterday. I think CC is suppose to be a SP with the cart trick b/c originally it only asked for the last 4 of my SSN. But somehow i made it a hard pull when I called in about the 7-10 day message, and was never advised by the CSR that it would be a ding on my CR which they traditionally do in most cases. I'm grateful that it wasn't totally wasted, but just the same for only $4.5K i might have passed on it. I mainly posted this just to let people know to beware if you ever get the 7-10 day message on a cart trick card that it could result in a HP. if you try to call in for recon.

Comenity seems to be all over the board with their MC/Visa shopping cart cards. I was pre-approved for Total Rewards Visa, but a HP showed up the next day. Others get no HP. Recently, I completed a full application for Vitacost, got the 7-10 day response and a few days later it was approved with no HP and it's been 3 weeks now.
@B335is: Again I may have triggered it when I called in for recon--and I only called in b/c after reading NUMEROUS threads about SC trick pre-approvals this was the first time I've seen a 7-10 message come up when I applied the other day. If I would have waited, i might have been approved also at a later date and no HP taken. Oh well-it is what it is!

I got the pre-app for the MC version, went through the process and got the 10 day msg .
Anyone with exp with this...does that mean decline? I called their number on the website and the rep said that there was no information in the system with my name...so bummed, thought I was good, now a possible HP for nada
@Jarnog: As long as you didn't give one of the reps your full SSN when you called you probably don't have a HP yet. But if you recon and give it to them, you may end up with a HP just like i did. When I first called I thought I was giving it to them to locate a new account for me, but I think she used it to fill out a cold app for me when I thought she was just having me repeat what I put on the original online application.
@Credit-hoarder. Well the rep was nice and said that her system showed the same pre-screen thing that I got and she didn't want to fill out the information because it could cause a problem with the one I already did. Also, she said it probably wouldn't go through. She also confirmed with me that the "pre-screened" thing that the reps get doesn't pop for everyone that calls. She also stated they usually pull EQ. Guess I'll watch my Score Watch and see if anything pops up. I was just so excited not to see the "regular" store card offer that I pulled the trigger only to be semi-shot down LOL.
I was thinking about calling the recon or whatever number just to see if they need more info or something, but now I am a bit scared to do that LOL.
