JCrew Approval

injustifiiable — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 16:25:30 GMT

WFNNB has been showing me a lot of love lately...finally got a SP preapproval for the one card I really wanted since I shop there frequently.

Approved for $500.

WFNNB app "spree" is done....since December I've acquired:

Express: $1,000
KingSize: $350
Victoria's: $500
J Crew: $500

Available credit: $2,350.00

Time to watch all of these grow at the 9-month mark. Next Hard apps will be for the Discover It this summer and perhaps a Chase card in the fall.

Arrgh congratulations man, I've been trying to get my hands on the JCrew card but the damn popup wont arise. I got the EXPRESS Next Credit card using the method with my address. I typed the same home address that I had used for Express at JCrew's website, I get nothing. Do they pull from a different bureau possibly? Is it possible to check what address each bureau has on file for me, without pulling my reports?

It took a while for it to show up for me. I first got the Express Card in December, and then the King Size and Vicky's. It SP'd EQ...you can initate a dispute on EQ's website and you can view the report contents there as well as view the SP's.

What's funny is that the SP for JCrew happened the day after my new accounts reported...so maybe they wanted to see some open WFNNB tradelines first? I don't quite get it but hey....whatever works.

I was reading this thread and decided to get on the J.Crew website to try to see if I would get the popup......I DID! This means something about my credit because I've been trying this trick before on J.Crew and it never worked before. I didn't get it of course because I don't need another store card, I am in the garden for the Discover IT card. However, that made me feel so good to see that I finally got that popup! YAYYYY MEEE!!! LOL!

After reading this thread, I went to j.crew website to try the shopping cart trick. I also got pre-approval for $1500. I accepted the offer and I didn't buy anything.

I also had pre-approval for VS and Chadwicks on December of last year.

You add the item to the cart and then sign in as a guest. It will pop-up as prea-approval if you qualify. The it will ask you the date of the birth and last four of SSN. By the way, you cannot have all of them. It will give you pre-approval from time to time. I got at least 10 from pre-approval for last three years.

The only other card I'd want now is maybe the Eddie Bauer one....there's not one near me but there's the outlet store about 40 miles from here where people go to get good stuff on sale...

I never got any pre-approval from Eddie Bauer. I had to apply for the card. It is a good card to have.

I only got $900 CL. They pulled HP EXP. They are inquiry sensitive. You will not get approved if you have 6 or more inquiries within six months.
