Shopping Cart Trick Never Works for me

Jolo0801 — Sat, 21 Feb 2015 02:06:38 GMT

This is getting frustrating.
I've tried numerous attempts for months at this shopping cart trick but no luck.
My popup is off and still nothing...

Does it not work in certain locations?

What's the issue...
I want to get a high limit card before I start gardening again..

Approved for amex delta gold, and denied chase sapphire and BOA rewards today..

Im a little confused. You want a high limit card but want a shopping cart trick? The two are not synonymous so which is it?

FWIW, you will need the data you enter to MATCH 100% that is on your credit report.

Aside from credit score and chance that's the best I can offer on your behalf for that.

As CreditMagic mentioned the information must be exact but also depending on the card you're trying to get, your scores might not be high enough. Why do you want one of the SCT cards?

Try using Google Chrome. Clear out your entire internet history (cookies). I have gotten the popup for nearly every site and bit on a handful but most were cobranded with major credit cards. I don't see why people call it a trap unless you are left with 5 cards with $250 CLs. My cards gave me a new $20,000 worth of credit utilization. I might buy a pair of shoe strings every now and then just to keep the account active. I just got my second CC the other day (not issued by Comenity) and I am now happy with the feeling that no one bank can break me now. Now, if you have 5 or 7 $250 Comenity cards and you have them maxed out, then you fell into a trap. Each one of mine will report for 10 years even if the account gets closed. Imagine having one credit card for 8 years and then you decide to get another one. Your AAoA drops by 50% by applying for a second card. I like to keep several cards for future AAoA purposes.

@Jologan79,

It is a good thing it is not working for you. Do not get sucked into the hype of SCT. It is not worth it. You may want to read the succes of @Pizza 1. From Bankruptsy to high limit cards less than 2 years . She did not get sucked into this SCT nonsense.

You DON'T WANT it to work!

You won't get high limit cards with it, and you're unlikely to get high limit cards with your current scores. You NEED to garden to get the scores necessary to get the high limit cards.

Thanks everyonoe...you all have been helpful.

I'm going to work with the cards I have for a while.

Most of my cards are on $0 balance but I need to get my Navy Fed line of credit down.

This should help my scores go up bid time...But I'm sure I'll see a drop initally hard these hard pulls...

I feel like a donkey right now...

Congrats on the AMEX. It is probably your address at EQ or EX. Do you have an old address on your reports? Try typing those in and see.
