Pop up pre approval

Does anyone know any other stores or department stores (besides Victoria'sSecret) that offer those pop up pre approvals when checking out. Thx!

Supposedly any store card tha Comenity services.  I think GECB also does the same thing if you have a card with them, such as Gap.  I have never had it happen to me yet, but I don't really shop online at those store much and I prefer to use one of the rewards cards I have.

It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.....
Always follow these rules: Only take a HP for a new account. Always use the best rewards card for that reward category. Don't close a card unless you know you really should. Never use more than 35% of a credit limit. Recon as much and as best you can. Use the introductory period to the best advantage. Get the signup bonus. Whenever possible PIF or balance transfer so you pay less in interest. Never give an excellent rating when it is actually the norm. Always look for a discount as more is always better.
Always accept candy from strangers because they have the best candy or from people you know have good candy.

Thx for the info. I tried walmart and gap, no pop up. I didn't apply, high chance I won't get approve.

Some people have said that it takes a few tries and I think you have to go far into the payment section, like basically the next to last section, meaning the final submit where it would normally pay the amount from your credit card after verifying everything, but before the authorization.  I sometimes wonder if it is dependent on what card info you enter.  I have also heard it is a soft pull to your credit or they have already gotten your info from a bureau and that is how they do the offer.  I imagine that I should actually be getting these offers, I have both Comenity and GECB and Prime cards now, so one would imagine.  While I don't want a store card, I wouldn't mind just actually seeing the offer.  Now if Macy's did it and they offered me their Amex card, then I would do it!
