I did the cart trick too. It was only $750 CL -_-. I don't shop there enough to justify having their card. Lol.

From what I understand, the info you enter has to match what's on file with the CRAs exactly as they soft you for pre-approval. It used to be that you needed to have created a user account on the website. I have had success lately however with just using a guest account and not creating a profile (went on a WFNB shopping cart spree just to see what pre apps I could get). I cannot get a pre-app for Eddie Bauer to save my life though, although Buckle and Express are perfectly willing to throw credit at me apparently.
I have seen posts where people have to try multiple times before the shopping cart trick works for them. I'd keep trying. A healthy amount in the shopping cart prolly doesn't hurt, and remember if you get the pop-up and accept, you don't have to buy what's in the cart. Good luck!
I got the pre-approvel today for $750.
I was shopping for stuff and right after I entered my information and click continue = BOOM the popup. I have about $115 on the cart. I didn't check out since I got the card, but I may suprise the lady at home with something soon =o)

How do you use it at BBW...I was told u had to buy a gift card some years back with the VS card to use it there.
The same way you do at VS. It only works at the actual store, though...not online. Still a very cool perk.
