Re: The Shopping Trick? No idea how to START

I did it with Victoria's Secret and pop up said I was pre-aproved for $1000, I submitted last 4 of my ss and d.o.b. and then it says it's under review and I should receive a letter?? What's up with that??

Did your address change recently?  When you set up your account did you use the same address that is on your credit report?  If not then that is probably the problem.  I've seen others with this problem.

Same address that was on my report? I don't understand why it would say pre-approve $1000 then under review?

Not sure I understand.  Are you asking a question about the address?  

 

Yes I've read just a very few cases of this happening and it had something to do with a variation in the address compared to the online account or a variation in their name.  Basically it was an ID verification that stopped the app.  I guess maybe you could try to call them tomorrow to find out what's wrong.

Re: The Shopping Trick? No idea how to START

I called then and they said I will either get the card or letter in the mail. It seems like I have the worst luck!! They also said even though it says pre-approval, they still have to run it through. I questioned her and said " what good is a pre-approval if it doesn't go through. Just my luck, I even get turned down for a pre-approval!!

Well please let us know what happened.  I honestly haven't heard of anyone not getting approved even when they did get that message.  So I have my fingers crossed for you.

Give_Me_Credit_Please, I replied to your post in the other thread, but the same thing happened to me. I got the 7-10 day message and within two weeks had my card. Hope you get it!
