I want Pottery Barn… Can I?

They are on the upside of the harder cards to get right?

I feel like I have seen Pier 1 as pretty easy and thought about it but I really just rather get Pottery Barn... I'm thinking might be best to hit them up in March or April but any chance I could do it now at a lower limit?

My Buckle $250 and Express $250 are reporting and paid first statements

I'm not sure CreditAddict... IIRC you've had lots of recent credit activities including KOHLS that you recently got approved for... your CRAs are definitely working overtime to keep up with you!  LOL.  Since I haven't seen any threads on the shopping cart trick for this one, I suppose you're going to hit this one as a cold app?

It's comenity bank, so just keep doing the shopping cart tricks for awhile! I'd wait till you have 6 months with your current commentiy accounts, and I'd you still don't get the preapproval pop up, then cold app it!

As a hobby interest, your call. From a rudimentary stand point-stacking another on a glut of AAoA diminishing, high interest bearing, limited purpose, low limit new accounts, not recommended. No judgements. Just sayin'.

UGH... They pulled EQ! I thought they pulled EX, still pending so we will see but I would be surprised since EQ is my lowest.

Re: I want Pottery Barn… Can I?

I was successful with shopping cart trick for Pottery Barn & West Elm! What I also learned is that if you click the Request increase button you can get increases in the first month! I did it two days after getting approved, got a $2k bump, then a couple weeks later did it again-- $2k bump again! Ending up with $8k limit..
