Re: Macys chance of approval

I'm rooting for you.  When I went,I was afraid of the same.  I waited till no one was near the register in case they denied me.  Would have been humiliating enough without a line of people behind me hearing that.  I have a recent foreclosure, Cap One won't even give me anything but secured,

Bloomingdales is a good one to try for...my scores were at about 580-600 and Macys approved me for $300 and Bloomingdales gave me $800!

Re: Macys chance of approval

I was right around that score when I got my Macys card. It surprised me when they approved my app. After only 6 months of on time payments they bumped up my CL from 300 to 900, and I did not even put in a request for CL increase. It's the best department store card that I've ever owned.


Starting Score: TU 629 6/2013
Current Score: TU 697 (March'14) EQ 688 (April'14) EX 693 (March '14)
Goal Score: 700

Re: Macys chance of approval

I applied for Macys online this year around April and was approved for a hilarious CL of $100. They pulled Equifax for me and my score was barely 600 that time. After 6 months i asked them to increase my limit and they increased it to $5000 !! without any new hard pull. Macys is a good store card with discounts and benefits. I would recommend you try for this card.
