Can anyone tell me about Gettington?

MB2714 — Sat, 12 Oct 2013 13:24:41 GMT

I just got a new card from a company that sent me a per approved offer called Gettington. They appear to be similar to Fingerhut, by use of catalogs and website to order merchandise. I haven't ordered anything yet. Just got the card. Any reviews from anybody about this company?

The products are the same as Fingerhut, except less expensive. In most cases much much less expensive. WebBank issues the credit card with better terms than FHut. My initial CL was $750 and got an auto CLI to $1335 about 3months later, still there. Got the account about two years ago. Card now reports to all bureaus. I have ordered a few big items are their service is good. I closed FHut and kept Gettington.

Better than Fingerhut, in my opinion. They started me off with a $500 limit, and upped me to $1700 in less than 4 months. I've purchased a few things from them and have had no problems.

Whoa! Surely I need to go and have that first cup of coffee. My bleary-eyed self just read this name as though it contained an extra "i" in front of the "t," and I was like, "Say whut!??" ;-)

I'm stuck with FingerHut and won't get a Gettington just because the prices are lower, but does Gettington report to all three bureaus like FingerHut does not??? If not, I'd say FingerHut is the better choice considering to whom they report (all three bureaus).

But i'm guessing that if WebBank is issuing their credit, Gettington is reporting to all three bureaus just like FingerHut? Anybody confirm this or not??

I've had a very good experience with Gettington. They will cli you very often. They have all of the top products available.

Yes, I opened a Gettington account a few months ago and it is reporting on all 3 of my credit reports. I had Fingerhut for a few months before I found Gettington. I have not had any cli but I just made my first payment.

Hi. I have had a Gettington credit account issued by Web bank for about 2 years now. I started out with a $200.00 limit and just got my latest increase to $2600.00. They always continue to increase my credit line from time to time which I love. They have always provided me with excellent customer service, and their products are name brand and prices compare with my local Best Buy and Target. I love the fast pay option which is a much lower interest rate than the store cards that Best Buy and Target offer, and they are more generous with their credit limits than Target ever has been. I love the products and great service I receive, and will continue to use them for many years.

Ive always had fingerhut. I kinda wish I never got them due to the high prices. There was no real need for my use cause i always pay everything in full anyways. But I have heard the gettington is cheaper and there is no AF so it cant really hurt.

Just curious but why use these "stores" Looking at some of their popular items I notice they are $30+ dollars more than just going to Home Depot, Best Buy, Walmart, etc? Is there some other perk to these types of places?

Same here. I had never heard of Gettington until I discovered these forums. Does anyone know if they just about as easy to get as Fingerhut or if a Fingerhut account can be converted to a Gettington account?

They are separate entities you can get instant approval online. Better customer service than Fingerhut and lower payments and better quality products. Free shipping over $50.00 I believe. If you pay off in 4 months you get a 14.90% apr if you pay off over two years you get 19.90% apr

1. I recently took a pre-approval and got $1k starting (It was HP, maybe even double)

2. They report to all 3

3. Way better then Fingerhut and have ready some very low credit scores getting approved, so think just about as easy as Fingerhut which last pre-approval from them which I WILL NOT apply for was $600.

4. why get it 1 poster asked when may be cheaper at best buy or home depot? If you need a few months to pay for something then that's why you get it! if you have a 700+ credit score you don't get cards like Gettington, you get Amazon Visa!

I ordered some pillows and a bathroom organizer thing which I priced to Home Depot and the Gettington price was actually little cheaper for this paticular item but I had to pay shipping even with my free shipping but I got 10% off my first order so I'm coming out close and I chose 4 payments... I don't need 4 payments for this paticular purchase but don't really need ot use the card for anything else so may drag out the 4 pyaments just for more history since the interest will be so minimal.

I apped for Gettington last year and was denied (score in the high 500s then). I then immediately apped for Fingerhut and was approved for a $400 revolving limit. So, in my experience, Fingerhut is easier.

After one purchase in nine months, I have a FH limit of $1700. Compared to Amazon, or almost anywhere else, they are both overpriced, so I would only use them for credit building, not serious shopping.

Fingerhut is easier than gettington. Gettington has lower payments and APR's than Fingerhut. So you'll either get a lower limit or just denied by gettington than you would with Fingerhut

They actually have the same parent company and use all the same distribution and warehousing. I'm guessing customer service is shared as well just perhaps they get a different script for gettington. My FAKO's are all around 600. Fingerhut gave me 500 to start 3 weeks ago. App'd for gettington today and got 350 which seems to be the common start level with them. Prices are definitely better although both things I ordered from fingerhut where on sale and cheaper than target. If your rebuilding I'd say they're definitely worth trying to approved at.

I just received an email from credit karma asking me to respond to an offer from Gettington. I went to the Gettington website and looked around at the stuff they are selling. From what I found, their products are GROSSLY overpriced! Example, Samsung 50" UHD was $2000.00 more than all other retailers online and brick and mortar stores. It wasn't just that one item it seems all their stuff is way overpriced boarding on price gouging. They are selling this one TV for $2000.00 over Samsungs list price! Please community, cross shop and price check if you plan on buyhing anything on that site.

Electronics are the LAST thing you want to buy when looking at a site and credit card geared towards rebuilding and bad credit.

I have bought some non electrical kitchen stuff and pillows, stuff like that and I didn't really overpay at all but anything else... yes it's more expensive!
