Shopping cart trick finally gave me somethin'

After trying the shopping card trick for the last 4 months.... I finally got a popup. Thanks Vicky Secret!! It is only 250 limit, but it is my first unsecured trade line since fingerhut. <3 So stoked, tried express, j crew, buckle, and sportsmans guide (i really want that one!!) no luck. I get my scores updated tomrorow so they must have improved!!! I used an incognito window in chrome and checked out as a guest, didn't buy anything.  <3 YAY!

 

 

**UPDATE**  

Just randomly tried Roamans card, got $250 CL!!!!  I will probably only use this to get my lil sis shoes as gifts, shes a size 11W, but it wil grow that creditttt wooho. 

 

Such a good feeling, ha, I am adicted to fixing credit.

+1

I wish the darn trick would work for me. I think my fraud alert is blocking me though. I'd rather have the fraud alert with all the craziness with Id theft going on.

I can't get the trick to work for me either and all I want is a Vicky's card!
