I applied online and only got an $800 limit.  How often do they give CLI?

Wow!  I don't want to risk applying only to receive such a low CL.  Maybe these other posters applied in-store and/or for a purchase and thus received higher limits.

 

Any of you that got these high CLs...could you please chime in with more info:  method of apping, scores and baddies, utilization, HHI etc that may have influenced the CL decision

 

 


 

After reading these posts, I decided to apply online. I have 3 baddies from 6 years ago. They were all settled and paid but are still hurting my score, Aanyway I was approved for $2000 CL. My score is 662.
Navy Fed Visa $10,000
Navy Fed MasterCard $3,500
Pen Fed Visa $7500
Discover $3,200

Re: Kays Instant Approval

I went online, put a $90 pair of earrings in my cart & then applied.  I don't know if that made a difference or not, but I'm thrilled and will LOVE those earrings!!!!

Re: Kays Instant Approval

When I was approved online it said that my credit was available for immediate use.  Does that mean online only or in the store as well?

Re: Kays Instant Approval

I applied online I did not even know you have better chance of getting approved in store. They pulled my credit report because it asked questions about my credit. I have only applied for this and a Home Depot Card in the last 2 year so I was very happy. I intend to make a purchase at the store shortly.

Starting Score: TU 560
Current Score: TU 750 EQ 731 EX 728?
Goal Score: TU 750+ EQ 750+

Re: Kays Instant Approval

no purchase here......just went in and applied.  they always say in store apps are better, can't remember why, though.

i believe once you get the card you can purchase on line if approved in store.  i saw the paper w/ my limit on it and he said if i wanted to buy something before i got my card, to come to the store.

 

my unerstanding though from another thread was you need to purchase something in two yrs or they decrease your CL....

 

good luck! Smiley Happy

Re: Kays Instant Approval

I got approved for Kay's and two weeks later for Jared.  It is my understanding that each report as a separate TL on your credit report with the full limit of each, but you actually share the limit between the stores since they are affiliated.  I applied online, and got $2000 limit for each one.  You do not have to buy something right away to get the card.

 

1)  Online

2)  592 (EQ) BK discharged 3/09 - 3 public records (2 BKs and a satisfied judgment); 12 negative accounts (but all zero due to BK); 1 $710 collection still showing a balance although it is incorrect, 2 positive student loans.

3)  Zero for revolving accounts.

4)  $69,300/yr.

FICO® 8 Scores: 10/16: TU 592 -- EQ 579 -- EX 573; 11/16: TU 626 -- EQ 614 -- EX 605; 12/16: TU 606 -- EQ 589 -- EX 594
FICO® Mortgage Scores: 10/16: TU 588 -- EQ 567 -- EX 566
10/16: Negatives: 10 charge-offs; 7 collections (one "closed"); 1 Ch. 7 BK (filed 12/2008)
Positives: 2 Cap1s; Nordstrom; 4 Comenity store cards; Amazon store card, Care Credit, 76 gas card, and F21 Visa; 2 student loans

Re: Kays Instant Approval

I went on line to purchase my Experian score and report and it said that it was an Experian Plus score. Is that a true score or a fake score? I'm interested in apping for Kays. I went to experian.com is that where I get the score?

Unfortunately, since Feb.'09 we aren't able to buy our true EX Fico score. Any EX score you purchase now is a FAKO.
