Congrats! Nice limit in the kohl's card. Target seems to give a low credit line. You applied for these online?

Yes, both online.  I was excited with the $200 Target but when I saw the $600 for Kohls, I nearly fell out of my chair!

The good news is the 5% off using your Target Card.  However, what's with the cheap limits?  I also got $200.  With a big purchase, I have to divide it among two cards or use my Target Debit.

Kohl's is great.  Enjoy both of your new cards!  Have you tried Walmart?  I got $600.  Don't shop there much, but I'll take it and the free scores.

Rejected for Walmart and honestly I'm kind of happy because I really dispise Walmart as a whole and haven't shopped there in years but I would love the free scores!

I do want to try to get a VS Credit, they say it's an easier builder, the problem is she would probably have a flip if she knew I was thinking about getting one xD
