Gap Store Card

Hey all,

 

I apped online and was approved for the Gap Store Card last week.  I got approval for $150.  Anyone know if GEMB will give an increase upon opening the account?  I was hoping for a CL between $400-600. The only reason I didn't apply in store is because I'm a big chicken.  Smiley Happy

 

Thanks!

Re: Gap Store Card

Im a big chicken too!  Just applied for Kohls online and was approved for $400 and thinking if I applied in store I might have gotten a bigger CL.  Try the backdoor #!  Good Luck!

Starting Score: EQ: 590 TU: 599
Current Score: EQ: 642 TU: 683
Goal Score: 720 by 12/31/10

Re: Gap Store Card

GE Store cards are known to be crap for CLI and you can request every 6 months.

Re: Gap Store Card

I dont mind at all!

 

TU 683 (as of 10/6)

EQ 667 (as of mid-sept)

 

I have a few lates that are over 3 years old, one unpaid collection on my EQ, and two unpaid collections on TU (both over 3 years old). Trying for a PFD on both.  Also-- one CO that just fell off of my reports this week!!  YAY!
