Comenity Credit Cards Shopping Cart Trick

What stores worked for you doing the shopping cart trick?  I got approved for The Loft ($250) and Victoria's Secret ($500).  I haven't been able to get the preapproval on any other store except Express; however, when I fill out my information (last 4 digits of SS, etc.) the page goes away and nothing else comes up. My pop-ups aren't blocked either, so I don't know what's wrong with it.  It comes up EVERY TIME I go to Express's website. 

 

 

Anyway, back to my original question.  What stores have the best luck with the preapproval shopping cart trick?

 

Any help would be great!

 

Thanks!

Re: Comenity Credit Cards Shopping Cart Trick

I had success with Victoria Secret( i just wanted to see if it would work, but didnt take it cause i saw no use for it) and also Buckle gave me a pop up, which i took, figure i buy small stuff every other month to help me with my rebuilding. But i have read VS, Buckle, Express, Jcrews are really the top ones for everyone

VS can be used at bath and body works as well.

Oh wow really, I didnt know that...hmmmm might go back and get it lol, but with just the offer of 350 and i just opened a fingerhut, Credit One, and Buckle, i might be better off not getting it since i feel like it too many accounts open in a short period of time

There have been a good number of threads on this.  And in all of them, I really haven't been able to pick out a pattern of how Comenity pre-approves their store cards.  I got the popup at VS, Gold Violin and Solutions (both Blair stores/Orchard Brands), and Ann Taylor.  Initially, Solutions gave me a 7-10 notification and they later mailed a pre-approval offer.  So then I went for Gold Violin and got it.  I also took VS.  Since I have no use for Ann Taylor, I passed.

I really wanted J. Crew, but never had luck.  No luck at Buckle or any of the other ones for me, either.
