I'm sorry for my ignorance, but what's the shopping cart trick?


Basically, on certain store web site you get a preapproved credit card offer with only soft pull.  Do a search for Shopping Cart and you will find out how to do it.

Re: Shopping Cart Trick Doesnt Like Me

Should I do a search for "shopping cart" here or on Google?

Make sure you have your popup blocker turned off.  Some said deleting internet temporary files first...closing browser...then trying again helped them.


hmm will give it a shot later tonight what browser do you guys typically use when doing the shopping cart trick i have been trying with Google Chrome and IE ....


I've also heard this can be the problem

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

It has ONLY worked for me using Firefox (VS, Express & Buckle), Chrome is my default browser..

I have also heard (or read) that there is a limit on how many Comenity Bank lines of credit will be presented as pre-approval (unless I read the OP post wrong, trying for 6+ stores)

I was given 6 preapprovals and I took them all, I need the TL's. And the "approval" screen was like a high Smiley Surprised Those who do it be careful though, if you do a lot within a few days they may freeze your accounts and want proof of identity, it just happened to me. I failed one of the security questions on the phone even though I AM TOTALLY ME, so I had to mail in copies of DL, SScard, etc. and my accounts will be released in about a week.

I had less than $50 in my cart for all the pre-approvals, I think it's TU, but I have never thought to look!

Re: Shopping Cart Trick Doesnt Like Me

I wondered about this, I figured I just didn't have the credit to be approved.

 

I was using Google Chrome. I went to VS, threw like $100 in the cart and tried to check out as a guest. Put in name/address...nothing, then I plug in the name of another member of my household and boom, there was a preapproval popup for $350.

 

Lesson learned: it's not my browser, it's my credit lol.
