Fun w/ Shopping Cart Trick

DomoNomo — Mon, 09 Dec 2013 00:50:41 GMT

I'm just having a bit of fun to see if I can get some pop ups with this shopping cart trick. So far i'm 3 for 3 and also got a pop up for Total Rewards. This is quite fun and no, I'm not accepting any of these cards. I just wanted to see how this pop up shopping cart trick works.

Look like you've been having fun with the tricks! These are good examples for folks who wish to see what displays once the pre-aproval offers pop-up. Some very good offers indeed OP.

Wow you are getting some great offers too!

I just got Buckle but only $250 and Express (unknown) and nothing at Total Rewards.

Basically, you select some items and add to cart. You then select the checkout button. On all three, I selected "guest" vs creating an account. Once you enter all your personal info, like address, email and phone number, click "continue or checkout" at that point you will receive a pop up. From what I've read, it will be a SP if you're approved.

IIRC, the only exception has been so far for Total Rewards, even though it will be approved, it still ends up being HP.

I was pre-approved for Express (no amount listed) and Buckle for $700.

drcc2013: I wrote this on post/message 9.

highfrogs: I didn't do anything special. Just sign up and enter you information. Name, Addres and phone number. Once entered, the pop up should appear on the next screen if you're pre-approved.

Can anyone get the shopping cart trick to work for True Value Discover Card?

I got this to work at Sportsman's Guide for a $5k limit on their Visa on a SP.

Just a reminder. You are killing your AAoA for tiny amounts of credit. SP rather than HP is good, but only if the card is worth getting (or if you get a useful CL)

I was approved for victorias secret $750. Didn't accept since I'm a guy with no need for a vs card.
