Toys R Us Credit - Applications Halted

Anonymous — Thu, 15 Mar 2018 20:02:51 GMT

Applications for Toys R Us credit cards were turned off today in stores. You can still use them in store for the time being. There goes a nice $25k cushion in a few months.

Wow, you had a $25k TRU card? End of another era, I suppose. Kind of a shame they turned it off before the actual closing, depending on the offers it could have been a great way for someone to clean up on the closeout sales.

Wonder how long the 10% on Thursday will last for. Hope to snag a deal or two in the next few weeks.

Hello my neighbor, how is the new house in RI? That really sucks. The 10% is uncertain unfortunately. So get whatever you can now.

Maybe it's worth bringing Dunkin' to the store manager every day and asking for a heads-up on closeout sales and the 10% for cardholders?

Sadly, I work there....for the last 19 years. Sad to see it go.

Now that you've reminded me of it, I realized that I knew that from another past thread. Very sorry to hear that.

All is well here in RI!! Way too congested but I am getting used to it. Far cry from NH for sure! The 10% will probably be over within the next 30 days. I will be hunting the deals for sure!

I will move on...first job really. More sad that my kids won't have a real toy store to visit in the future.

It is very sad especially since you work there. Alot of people are blaming Amazon. But I think the prices at Toy R Us were too high.

P.S. Glad you are adjusting to RI. There is a famous blogger I follow that lives in Newport or something.(Classy Girls Wear Pearls). I think she and her husband are a bit much, but anyway she posts beautiful pics of Newport, towns in NH and Vermont. Very nice.

I'm going to miss watching children leaving the store crying while empty handed. Just another missed opertunity of kids being told "no". What's the APR on those cards?

Very sorry about what you and thousands of other Toys R Us employees are going through. Wishing you nothing but the best.
