Dell Financing

So I am in need of a new laptop, rather quickly. Mine just had an issue that has cause it to basically be totaled (it will cost more to fix it than it's worth, plus it's 2.5 years old) I am looks at Dell's and HP's. I see Dell has a financing option that is underwritten by Web Bank. I'm in gardening, but school starts Mnday and I will need it on or around then. Have any of you had any experience with Dell financing? If you were approved, what did your credit profile look Ike at the time of approval, and what sort of limit were you given? Thanks Smiley Happy Logan

With your scores it should be an issue. How are you with INQ's?

Re: Dell Financing

I could, and I could also pay cash, but I figured I would ask about Dell financing because I would continue using at whenever I needed a new computer...

Re: Dell Financing

Web Bank is EQ.

 

I would take the oppurtunity to purchase either through Amazon or Ebay.

Bill Me Later is also backed by Web Bank and would be way more useful to you later then a Dell Card.  It also will give you at least 6 months if not 12 or more probably when looking at laptops.

Also Amazon or Best Buy sometimes offer 18-24 months for 0%, you just have to check around.

Amazon is GE, Best Buy HSBC.

 

But I would stick to the accounts that won't report to your credit and that is Bill Me Later!

I think you'd be better off continuing to garden and paying for it straight up, you;ll get better terms that way.

Re: Dell Financing

I know, I have an Amazon card, but are you saying is that I should just apply for a BML account instead of a Dell account, so that I can use BML letter down the road?

BML is nice but if you have Amazon why not use that?
