Which stores can you do the shopping cart trick on?

Are some harder to get than others? I got the VS for 250 but nothing happens for express.

It seems like VS offers credit to anyone who walks through the door (mostly), and rules only apply to others.

This trick worked for me @ VS but so far the other 10 or so I've tried no pop up window has come up. I'm rebuilding my credit so getting my first retail card was needed. Just sucks its for VS and not J crew or express, the g/f is happy about it. lol

VS approved for $500 with an average credit score of about 630.

Worked for me for Ann Taylor and OneStopPlus.com last week for $250 each, with low 600 scores. The Ann Taylor one was perfect timing, so many Black Friday discounts stacked on top of the immediate 15% percent they give you for making your first purchase with the card. I probably won't use the OSP one for anything as I'm not plus sized and don't like their accessories/shoes (they do have a nice selection of hair products though). It'll just be there to help out with util.

both of those worked for me, I accepted one stop plus but not ann taylor. I really want express, buckle and jcrew but non of those will work.

Ann Taylor pulled EQ for me.  I'm in Cali.  Last EQ score I saw was from September and was ~670.  At the time, numerous baddies.  Was offered $250 but didn't accept.

They softed EQ, I got the popup for the Loft card as well but when I accepted it I got the "We'll get back to you in 10 days", more than likely because you can't have both. NBD since one of those cards can be used at both stores and I shop there a lot anyway

And no I didn't put my middle inital, I actually never do but it somehow makes its way onto my cards....my address I put exactly, and its always tricky because I use my post offices physical address and I have to include my box # as an apartment #, AND the zip code is different than the PO Box address. It always works though, I never give out my home address ever.
