Much to my surprise, I see that there's a CC for EVERY store now (slight exaggeration). I just received an email to apply for a DSW CC. While I'm not really looking for a store CC, I am intrigued by the 20pts (25pts for premier members) /$1 spent at DSW. Does anyone have this card?
Wow, never heard of this card. Just did the reseach and it is actually a Visa.
The link they sent me shows it's a VS! I don't know if this card has been around and I've just never heard of it because I was opted-out, but it's very intriguing.

Its not a "store" card. Its a Visa, and can be used anywhere. The standards for the Visa's backed by Comenity are more stringent, and require scores at least 680+ They pull EQ exclusively. DSW does not offer a store card version, only the Visa.
Pardon my vernacular, but yes, I know it can be used everywhere. It the Visa Signature on the card didn't tip me off, the fact that you need to spend $500 the first 90days on purchases outside of DSW for the bonus would have. I called it a store card because it's from (has the name) of DSW (a store). What's next, the Kwik-E-Mart Visa!

We have one. It's at $13K. We also shop at DSW fairly often. Have Premier Status at DSW which gets us $10 for every $100 spent and an extra $10 every Birthday. We also have points banking so they don't expire.
The $13K was after the second four month CLI request.
I was on the DSW site about a week ago, signed into my account, put something in my cart then changed my mind. Just today I got a letter from Comenity denying my application for the card because they couldn't pull my frozen EQ. I never filled out an application.

Seriously, there are some crazy cards out there. (haven't heard of a Kwik-E-Mart card yet, however)
The Dubai First Mastercard comes with a diamond embedded in the card. Pretty silly.

I too shop at DSW often, which is why I'm intrigued by this card. How do you get Premier status? I've been a DSW member for over 10yrs and get $10 off every birthday, but don't recall every seeing anything indicating that I was Premier. I also get random $10 coupons, I have one after a recent purchase I made a few weeks ago, but I'm not sure if it's after every $100 I spend because I've never paid attention.
What was your SL? Getting to 13K after just 8mths is impressive, but would hate to get some toy limit as a SL.
