Just FYI - Virgin America is NOT a Shopping Cart Trick.  You don't "load" or "add" anything in a "cart".  It's a pre-approval offer or "pop-up" that displays when you log into or create your account.  Which would apply the same way for the Total Rewards and the Fuel Rewards Network programs for instance.

 Yeah, I think that's it exactly. As soon as OP heard it was a soft pull in January he/she was happy. Didn't even notice the HP mention.

I could never get this one to pop up (along with 99% of their other cards) which has probably been a blessing.

If you live by always expecting a hard pull when applying for anything credit related, consider yourself lucky when they don't hard pull you. Often times the impact of a new account is more detrimental than one hard pull.

I think OP is new to the board somewhat although registered for a long time - Not making excuses for him/her but lets not hammer him/her... I think he/she has learn from hthe question asked.

Hopefully, OP will realize attitude is everything..

Expect the best, plan for the worst, and prepare to be surprised.

I can assure you 100%, positively, without a doubt, it will be a pull.

I got approved for this card 9 days ago...I think I'm the most recent approval. It was a hard pull on EQ. Was also approved for Total Rewards and Orbitz.....also hard pulls. So I would think that comenity has finally changed all visa/mastercard approvals to HP's. I was just approved yesterday for the SNL Mastercard only EX pull that I have seen Comenity do......

Hello FinStar,

I beg to differ.  I got the "pop-up" after setting up a round trip flight -- so technically, I was "adding" things in a "cart"  Otherwise, I have never received the "pop-up" while signed into my Elevate account.  YMMV     Now, the Total Rewards Visa did happen that way -- with a "pop-up" upon signing  into my account.  Lastly, the Fuel Rewards MC never gave me a "pop-up"   Comenity sent me a pre-approval via the USPS.

Let this whole thread be an example of   YMMV    aka  Your mileage may vary,  soft vs hard pulls included~~!!

You mean, you "added/booked" a flight to your reservation (which may have included seat assignment), but there was really no "cart" (unlike buying panties at VS or sports gear at Sportsmans Guide )
