Shopping Cart Tricks

[JMills]

Ok I got a pop up for VS, and Jessica London. I got both message saying they will contact me in 7-10 days. VS can't find me in the system and Jessica London gave $350. My question is how long do I wait for VS. I really don't want Jessica London but was trying to see if I get a pop up. The cards I really want are NYC, Express, JCrew, Newport News, And Dress Barn. However I am not getting a pop up? Any suggestions? Also having all these cards will it help your score?How does a Sp look on your credit report. I have score watch, so I can check now. How long should I wait and start atttempting to do a shopping cart trick. I took someone advice and register with Express and Jcrew but what do I do next?

I can't answer any of your other questions but for Express I get popups when I use different browsers. It doesn't matter if I'm signed in or not. It usually pops up after you enter your zipcode when you're checking out. I haven't been able to get an approval though because after I click okay it sends me back to the checkout screen. Let me know if it works for you.

I just read about this shopping cart trick for the first time today.  I'm rebuilding.  My EQ is 660, I have proior BK (discharged in 05), and a few paid collections on my reports.  I have about 12 inquires total, with 2-3 of those in the last 6 months.  I'm an AU on 2 accounts that are 15+ years old, and have a few cards of my own that are all 6-9 months old.  I have a Cap1 Secured (200), Kohls (400), Macys (800), Firestone (1000), Target (200) and I also have two Comenity cards (Ltd & NYC 750 ea.).  Was just approved for Lowe's (300) today.  

I have shopped on many Comenity retail sites like VS, J. Crew and Express for several years, including very recently, and have NEVER seen this pop-up!  Wonder why it seem so readily available to some, and doesn't appear at all to others.  I just tried a few today, and did not see any pre-approval pop-up.  I want a VS card, but now that I know it's possible to get without a HP, I'm certainly not going to app for it.  Grrrrrr.... so frustrating!  Tips, anyone?

You must be opt in, cr must match exactly the information you type in. Remember, without your SSN, they are matching your cr by name and address. Also, make sure you clear your cookies. It doesn't work for everyone.

I've used Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and even Explorer. I've gotten pop-ups for all of them. The problem is that Express has a glitch right now that'll keep sending the person back to the check out page. It's worked for me every time I try except when I try to do back to back. Also, I've found out that after you come back from using another browser it does the pop-up again. Pop-up works for both Mac and PC.

I wish they would get their glitch fixed so I could finish my application and check out!
