No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
OK....Browsing Barclays site today and noticed that the Williams-Sonoma Visa CC is no longer there. So I went to the WS website, and clicked on the WS CC, and all is says is "Manage acct", and it clicked me back over to the Barclays webiste. mmmmm, Interesting I thought, so I reached out to Barclays Credit services, AND to the WS store manager to get the scoop!!!
First Barclays:
The WS Visa is going away. You may no longer apply for it, but IF you have it, you still get to keep it, just Barclays is no longer going to issue any new WS visas anymore! bye, bye! Its unclear at this point if Barclays will keep the existing WS visa cardholders, or if the Visa will transition over to a new lender, or go away all togehter. Barclays was hush hush on that, obviously since this isnt public yet.
Second WS store manager:
They got notice of it last week, and no longer take apps BECAUSE......(are you ready for this)???..........Williams-Sonoma will be transitioning to a WS store card to be used only in the store! (my dream!!!)...
Im assuming that since the WS company owns Pottery Barn, PBT, PBK, Revuvination, and the PB cc is backed by Comenity....my hunch is the new WS store card will be backed by Comenity. Would make sense, since they back the PB cc... We will see if Im right
There you have it!
Comenity your dream? At a low low APR if you so choose to carry a balance of 27% apr on store card..
In all honesty the Visa didn't have that good of perks that another credit card wouldn't of beat thus probably not alot of WS visa's out there, probably not much of a demand as better cards exist thus probably better for barclay's and WS to go their seperate ways.

well, naturally of course there are better cards to use, I know this, and no Comentiy is not my "dream"...just the WS store card was my dream lol. Ive Always said that WS should have a store card! Anyways...Im sure they will have the same type of financing and ridiculous APR as the PB or any other store card, but also im sure will offer some sort of "special financing" for purchases over a certain amount.
Just thought this was interesting, and for anyone who might be interested in obtaining it once its available
Pizza1 congrats.

Oh. Sorry. I thought you only posted if you had recieved some sort of CLI or some sort of approval. I'm still (somewhat) new to this board...sorry. \
But, to be fair, I did state that I stopped reading once I came across the words "Pottery Barn." It reminded me when I was in college -I couldn't believe that my (then) gf suggested I should take a "Pottery Class." Sigh.....no bueno...

If you already have an existing PB or pbk card you can just buy gift cards from either store and earn the 25 dollar rewards for every 250 dollars you spend and then use the gift card at WS. No need to apply for another card.
yep...Ive done that also didnt say I was gonna apply for another card.

um, yea I do post actually other than approvals. I havent in a while becuase my threads tend to get taken out of context, and people read into them a little more than they should, and become expert on Pizza1 credit managment, other than why I posted. See, for this reason alone, and the next posters comments, is why I dont post much anymore, and believe me...Ive got so much information I could post on certain topics, but I dont...because I get nit picked to death.

Ah! Understood.
Well, I'm about to hit the gym (to keep improving my godly physique). I'll let you experts duke it out on CCs while I go and get under a couple of barbells (because machines are only for women and other type of guys...).
You guys have fun.
