Geico card

Since the Geico card also uses Merrick bank is it as easy as the hooters card to qualify for?

Re: Geico card

I got the hooters card when I applied. After two weeks I applied for the Geico card and they denied it.

Re: Geico card

I was denied as well - TOO MANY INQUIRIES.  All caps too... as if I didn't know.  If you haven't been apping around, it may be worth a shot, but if you've been recently applying for cards then I would give it a while before applying for this card.

Re: Geico card

Curious...if in a state that they check your credit for car insurance (I have Geico), wonder if you were denied their card, if it would affect your car insurance?  Every month when I pay my insurance on line they try to give me a credit card....might go for it when my mortgage is finalized.  To my knowledge, they have not checked my credit for my insurance (In california, have no idea if they do)

Re: Geico card

I have (and love) Geico for my car insurance-
I do not have any hard or soft inq's from them.

Given this bellow on the application- I would stick to HOOTERS.


Your application for the GEICO Platinum MasterCard card contains an authorization that allows GEICO, Merrick Bank, and their respective affiliates to exchange, for any lawful purpose, nonpublic information about you, your credit history, and your transactions and experience with GEICO including, but not limited to, information about your GEICO automobile insurance application(s), your GEICO automobile insurance policy(ies), and underwriting and employment information.
