Re: Shopping cart trick worked

after statement cut and payment try VS again.  Comenity will see you have paid and may start to open up to you.  JCrew shows move LUV than express.  To me anyway.

Congarts on the new TL

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?

Congrats on the new TL!  I had the opposite issue...Express never popped up for me, but I got VS without issue.

Re: Shopping cart trick worked

This always confuses me...so you put something in your cart and fill out shipping info....

 

when do you get a popup? I know it doesnt happen all the time but if I was going to get one, when would it happen? After putting in my payment information?

You have to go all the way to Billing Info, it checkes billing address to popup the application.  I got both JCrew and Express. Not intersted in a pink card Smiley Happy

Re: Shopping cart trick worked

I have gotten the J. Crew pop-up twice but it doesn't show the credit limit.  I haven't accepted either time tho.  I don't shop there.  And $155 for a baby sweater is not for me! (wow)
