I applied for a few store cards last week. Today, I received denials from both Walmart and Target. I was denied because they were unable to verify my address and phone number. A few of my other applications for cards asked me some questions for verification and one wants a untility bill. Are these two stores doing so well, that they cannot be bothered to put a little effort into verifying potential customers? The Target letter was just plain bizarre. Telling me I was denied and then saying they look forward to seeing me @ Target soon (only been there once, but it looked good for various household items). Anyway, I am not too, too disappointed, but I found the whole thing odd.
