Kirklands store card now issued by Wells Fargo?

Anonymous — Fri, 18 Aug 2017 20:15:20 GMT

I had looked at applying for this card maybe a year ago, and I believe it was under Synchrony or Comenity at the time? I remember wondering if I was racking up too many cards with those lenders. So anyhow.. I was debating on applying now again since I do shop there during the hoildays and they do perks sometimes of discounts off if using a credit card.

Does anyone know how hard Wells Fargo is to get in with on store cards? I have several synch and com store cards.. no cards backed by WF.

Thanks! :-)

It's been issued by Wells Fargo for years. Your brain probably just associates "store card" with Comenity and Synchrony.

When I went to the Kirklands site I found it confusing myself.

It seems that new accounts are issued by Wells Fargo.

However, there is also a link saying "have this version of the card" that takes you to a Synchrony login for the card.

I guess at some point Synchrony issued the account and continues to maintain the ones they issued?

Ha! Well I would think perhaps thats the case, since that's pretty much true! but they have this on the credit card page so.. at some point there was a synchrony version of the card, see the green card link below.

Well I answered my own question above about how hard is a wells fargo retail card to get approved for, by applying.. apparently they are harder to get approved for than Synchrony because I was denied.. bummer.
