Amazon approval, woo hoo!

Anonymous — Sat, 16 Aug 2014 01:56:12 GMT

Yes, I know a lot of people don't like Amazon credit, but I shop on Amazon a lot so this will be beneficial! They declined me in February, so I waited the 6 months, tried again, and got approved for $1400. Very happy! Restarting my garden stay, once again...

Congrats! Was this the GE store backed store card or the Chase one?

Just the GE. Chase doesn't like me yet. Maybe next year. (AU on Chase as of last month so hopefully that will help!)

Congratulations!!

This is very interesting, I just created this account here and unfortunately I was not so lucky, I applied for Amazon store credit today but got the 7 to 10 days with a reference number. I know, I know, it does not mean the end of the world but I was not instantly approved. I hope to learn and grow with everyone here. One more time, congratulations on that as I would like to enjoy having an Amazon store card. Thanks

That's pretty awesome. Chase pretty much hates me too though part of me is still determined to get my foot in the door with them at a much later point in time. It's mainly cause they are very strict on the whole you have to have over a year of credit history to have a better chance at their cards, at least that's what they've told me. I've also gotten turned down cause of new accounts, INQs, that sort of stuff.

Thank-you!

Trust me, I know how you feel! I felt that way in February when I was denied. This was the 1st card I applied for trying to rebuild. 6 months later, I have cards under my belt and I felt good to apply once again for Amazon. Instant decision. I can't help you with the 7-10 message because I've never had luck. I got the same message today for the SM Barclays card. Too bad it's a Friday after business hours, or I'd call! Keep your head up! Call Monday and see what's up!

Yes, I've determined they r 1 of the most strictest cards. But, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel! I'm determined by next year to be "in" with them, not just being an AU.

Yup. For some reason, I'm feeling slightly more hopeful about Barclay's if I decide to go for them instead. Haven't had an INQ on my TU report for two months and hope to make it to December or January without one. Bank of America also tends to be kinda strict and INQ sensitive for me even though I have a checking account with them I use quite often.

Barclays is awesome! I have their rewards card and love it. I'd love their SM too. Hopefully I'll get an answer Monday! Boa IS hard. I applied last month and at least got the 99/500 offer. I'm not taking that because in 6 months, I KNOW I can get it on my own. Good luck!!

Congrats! I was approved for an Amazon store card back in November 13 my credit limit started at $1400 now it is at $3500. I have never ever even asked them for an increase limit I just log in and its there. So look forward to that credit limit growing!

Congrats I like the Amazon Store Card for a util cushion when I'm not utilizing the 0% promos! Synchrony is great with CLIs! Every 4 months, always a SP! You might even want to try calling Credit Solutions and asking for a higher limit! Tell them you're looking to make a large purchase! No harm!

Congrats! I loved and used the heck out of my Amazon card, until I got the SM. I am keeping it now, in case I want to use that 0% promotional APR at some point in the future I am not one of the people that they give the big increases to, but thats okay, it met my needs.

Since SM hasn't approved me yet... 7-10 msg and looked up, denied (calling recon Monday to try and turn it around), the Amazon cc is perfect for me since Amazon is my #1 place I shop. Also, Christmas is in 4 months... Maybe they will raise my limit so I can do all my shopping with them. My ?, do you have trouble paying your bill? I keep reading that people have trouble getting into the part where you pay.

Congrats! That can be actually be a pretty difficult card to get approved for. Sounds like you'll make great use of it.

Have had absolutely no issue making payments on my card in the year that I've had it. The website is pretty straight-forward.
