If you haven't tried a sp since 2010 it's worth the try now if your utilization is not high or you haven't added anything negative to your account since it's been open.  You should be good.


Last month my CRs had a 36% UTIL (high). Next week it will read about 15%. So I'm assuming 5 weeks from now, Comenity's SP will read the 15% UTIL and not the 36% UTIL. Other than that I have a very thick/good/clean profile.

In that case I have a better chance of a higher CL if hitting the luv button in 5 weeks, yeah?

They give out very small limits so I truly doesn't think it will matter....JMHO.

Always a soft pull with Comenity for CLIs.  I hit it all the time, and get several rejection letters usually due to my recent increase.  JCrew is the most generious giving CLIs than any other Comenity cards I have.  So try it!

Re: Comenity Express CLI - SP or HP?

I purchased a smartphone off HSN.com in January 2014. I got the "do you want to apply for the HSN store cc" message. I don't remember if it was a preapproval or not. I weighed the pros & cons of applying for the store cc or the MC. I should have applied for the MC because I haven't used my store cc since. This was my 1 and only purchase from HSN. Anyway, I got approved for $1,500, which was surprising. Come to find out, it was HP on EQ. It also showed up on my CK. So....just be careful about the Comenity SP & HP. Looking back, I assume the message that popped up on my screen was not a preapproval. Hence, the HP on my EQ report. By the way, I returned the smartphone, so I feel the HP was somewhat of a waste. The $1,500 bump on credit availability is a plus though. I hope this helps someone....

Data point - it was a SP.
