Well, you've already taken the hard pull for it now, so the damage is done.  Does it have an AF?  If so, I'd close it without activating it.  If no AF, open it and put it in your sock drawer.

There must be something on your report they don't like for you to keep getting approved for the Plan B card. Do you have prior collections or high util?

I had no problem getting approved for the reg. store card last black friday and my EQ score was like 720-730 at the time.
