WFNNB banks usually grant pre-approvals when you create an online account with the store. In example go to victoriassecret.com, create a new account, enter your name, DOB, billing and shipping address, email and password, then put something in your shopping cart, proceed to check-out and a pop up will appear if you are pre-approved. You can accept or decline the pop up. Once you accept and are approved you don't have to actually purchase anything, you just sign out and will get your card in 10 days per their message to me. If you don't get the pop up, you would have to apply and get a hard inquiry which I'm not sure she would qualify at that point.
I just did that with Victoria's Secret, Express and lastly Pac Sun in that order. I accepted all three pre-approved offers. With that being said I just read a bunch of negative info on the internet about this bank and have posted a new message about people's experience with them as a couple posters stipulated they had nothing but problems. Look for my thread titled Feeling freaked by WFNNB backed cards...by user bbb925 and see what people say so you can judge for yourself. Would like to know what you decide if you don't mind reposting. Good Luck!
