amazon possible with a 637 score?

my friend wants an amazon store card sooooo bad and lives vicariously through me and myfico life Smiley Wink  I don't think an amazon card is possible with a TU fico of 637...but I promised to ask. Should she try or wait until shes in the 650s??

 

*edit for TU fico score instead of EQ*

started mid 500's. Disputed incorrect items and within a month or two my scores have skyrocketed and continue to do so
EQ: 755 as of 8/2013
TU: 700
Experian(or as I call them, the devil) I have no clue, they haven't released my report
Goal=801 across the board!!! Not too far from this, hoping to garden until Christmas 2013

Re: amazon possible with a 637 score?

Are you thinking the GECRB Amazon? Or the Chase Visa? I'd say the GECRB store Amazon is a yes- prob get a $300-$1,000" limit with that score. Chase Amazon Visa is a no go.

If her score is low because she has a thin file I'd say she could get the store card. I got the store card in May of 11 and at that point the only other history I had was student loans from 09 and 10 and one cap one card that had a 500CL. (not sure what my score was but they started me at 800CL I think it was and it is not at 2200.) Now if she has baddies I don't know what her odds are.

Re: amazon possible with a 637 score?

I think she can get approved for the store card assuming that's a 637 actual FICO. Gecrb mostly pulls TU. Also, her income will matter.. She needs at least $24k imo to get a decent limit.
I got a $1,200 initial approval for the Amazon Store in Jan '12 with a score of 670 something.
I'd say there's a 90% chance she can get approved!!
Fyi, after two months of pif, I got an auto bump to $1,900.. Then more recently I got a CLI to $3,000.

I was approved with an income of 12.5k and an 800CL so YMMV.

Re: amazon possible with a 637 score?

Check this out...  I app spreed today starting at 12 midnight.  I applied for AMEX Starwood Preferred Guest, Walmart, Belk and Amazon Chase.  I was approved for all of them.  Amazon Chase denied me, but did a recon on the phone with me.  I refinanced my auto this week to and my auto enhanced was 674.  EQ FICO was reading 639 on the same day.  Have your friend call and apply with someone on the line.  If she has derog's on her account, she may have a chance depending on how much and the type of debt.  My credit union is also considering me for another account as they pulled credit recently.  I regret getting Walmart, except I can save on gas.
